Is this sentence Alan and James know how to tell a story Written in passive or active voice?

The sentence "Alan and James know how to tell a story" is in the active voice.

Here's why:

* Active voice: The subject (Alan and James) performs the action (know).

* Passive voice: The subject is acted upon.

To rewrite the sentence in passive voice, we would need to change the structure significantly. For example, we could say: "It is known by Alan and James how to tell a story." This is awkward and less direct.
