Active voice is an important matter when you are writing research articles. Here are few tips: "...Active voice more closely resembles spoken language; hopefully ideal spoken language. When we speak, we generally use the active voice without thinking. Our writing should become that automatic. You would never say: Passive: My car (subject) was driven (action) to work by me.  Or: Passive:...
