Interactive grammar exercise to practice identifying active and passive voice in sentences.

Let's go through each sentence and determine whether it is in the active or passive voice.

🔹 Key Differences:

- Active Voice: The subject does the action.
Structure: Subject + Verb + Object
Example: *She wrote the book.*

- Passive Voice: The subject receives the action.
Structure: Object + Auxiliary Verb (be) + Past Participle + (by Subject)
Example: *The book was written by her.*
