Action verbs
Action verbs are used to describe what you are doing, Words like pondering, shaming, fearing, considering are action verbs even though your activity is not visible. Then there are those action words which imply busy-ness like running, writing, moving, cleaning. Non-action verbs do not express an action but represent a state of being, opinion, feeling, etc.
Action verbs – active and passive verbs
The difference between active vs. passive verbs it that with active verbs the speaker/writer has the subject doing the action. With passive verbs have the action done to the subject.
Active: Sally booked her car in for a service.
Passive: Her car was booked in for a service.
Active voice is much clearer, shorter and stronger, unlike the passive voice which is more difficult for you to work out who did what. Passive voice can also be imprecise and is, therefore, used a lot by politicians, advertisers, and others too who want to fudge the facts, and shift blame.
Mistakes were made. !
“Your flight has been cancelled”, rather than “We have cancelled your flight”.
The passive voice may be used is in reporting on scientific findings, where it is facts and not opinions which count, and when creating the suspense in a mystery story – where you don’t want to say who stole the silver chalice – the silver chalice was stolen – the idea being that you must work out who the thief is.
Research supports the theory that this is an infection caused by bats. That is better, in scientific terms, than saying: Bats caused this infection..
