GRAMMAR : Active and Passive Voice . Действительный и страдательный залог.

Залог - это форма глагола, которая показывает, является ли подлежащее предложения производителем или объектом действия, выраженного сказуемым. В английском языке имеется два залога: the Active Voice (действительный залог) и the Passive Voice (страдательный залог).

Глагол в действительном залоге (the Active Voice) выражает действие, которое производит само лицо (или предмет), являющееся подлежащим:

Jane gives food to her cat. Джейн дает еду своему коту.
