Some writers use passive voice when active voice would be stronger. Example:
-The horse was ridden by him. PASSIVE
-He rode the horse. ACTIVE
Some are confused about what passive voice and active voice actually are. Here’s an excellent article on the topic. (It’s from The Writing Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.) http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/passive-voice/ .
