Passive Sentence

Passive sentence or passive voice are used in writing much more often than in speech, and they are used in some types of writing much more often than in others.
Passives are used more in journalism (newspapers, magazines) than in fiction (novels, stories), but most journalists and fiction writers use far more active than passive sentences. However, passives are very common in all types of scientific and technical writing. Scientific articles often contain more passive than active sentences. You should not use passive voice verbs unless you have a good reason.
