OpenStudy (mysticfury):

The passive voice is a grammatical construction (specifically, a "voice"). The noun or noun phrase that would be the object of an active sentence (such as Our troops defeated the enemy) appears as the subject of a sentence with passive voice so @Linkc12 's definition was correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):
