  11. Passive Voice The passive voice is when the subject of the verb of a sentence is not doing the action described by that verb. The active voice is stronger because it is more direct, expresses ideas more clearly and is frequently less wordy. It has no relation to verb tense (the time in which the action took place – past, present, future). For more information, see APA Manual, 3.18 (p. 77-78).
