Active voice
Use the active rather than passive voice. This will help us write concise, clear content.
Use the active voice: 'The clerk stamped the form'.
Not the passive voice: 'The form was stamped by the clerk'.
The Defra digital blog 'Get active! Why content designers hate the passive voice' explains that using the active voice makes content livelier and easier to read and understand, especially for web pages.
