Using Active Verbs
![Paper Route](/sites/k12/files/unitAssets/grammar_8/8a.png)
The voice of a verb tells you whether the subject is doing the action or receiving the action. For clear and energetic writing, use active verbs. A verb is active when the subject of the sentence performs the action.
Eduardo tosses a newspaper.
(The subject, Eduardo, is doing the action of the verb, tosses.)
