Man-Made Processes

Use Passive Voice. The focus is on the action and the object, not the worker.

  • The coffee beans are roasted.
  • The milk is heated.

Natural Processes

Use Active Voice. The focus is on the subject (nature) performing the action.

  • The sun shines.
  • The plants grow.
  • The wind blows.
