Active voice is used to show what a person or thing does. In active voice, the action (verb) is usually followed by the subject performs the action. While the object comes after the action. Passive voice in the other hand tells us what happened or done to someone or something. But in this case the subject comes after the action while object comes before the action.

But using passive voice is recommended only if the object is more important than the subject in a sentence. Active voice is preferred because is easier to read.
