The active voice is a term that refers to a grammatical construction in which the subject of a sentence performs the action, rather than having the action directed towards it. It is often contrasted with the passive voice. Some synonyms for the active voice include the dynamic voice, the direct voice, and the strong voice. These terms all highlight the assertive and powerful nature of the active voice, which is often considered more engaging and effective in written communication.
