Avoid passive voice.
Revise sentences in which you do not explicitly state who is doing what to whom.
Passive voice = was, is, being, or has been + a verb in the past tense.
Passive voice: The ball was kicked. You can't tell who "did" the kicking.
Active voice: John kicked the ball. John "did" the "kicking." John is the grammatical subject of the sentence.
