The Passive Voice: What, Why, When & How

In grammar, the “voice” of a verb determines whether the subject of the sentence acts as the agent carrying out the action or is the recipient of the action. The voice is called “active” when the subject performs the action; it’s “passive” when the subject is the object of the action.

The Value In Sentence Structure Variations

One of the beauties of the English language is the flexibility in syntax of its sentences.  Beyond the basic subject-verb-object format, there’s a whole lot of room to play with variations in your sentence structures.

Why Use Semicolons?

Semicolons are among the least-used punctuations in the English language.  That’s unfortunate because they’re very useful, especially when you’re looking for ways to vary your sentence construction.
