GRAMMAR
Passive Voice
The passive voice places the emphasis on the action rather than the actor. The subject, or actor, is usually not mentioned. Passive voice is used frequently in technical writing, where the focus is usually on what was done rather than who did it. It is conventionally used to report experimental procedure and to avoid constant repetition of I or we throughout the report, paper or thesis.
