Is the receiver before verb an active voice?

It's not that simple! "Receiver before verb" doesn't automatically tell you if a sentence is in the active voice. Here's why:

* Active Voice: The subject performs the action. "The dog chased the ball." (The dog is the subject, and it's doing the chasing.)

* Passive Voice: The subject receives the action. "The ball was chased by the dog." (The ball is the subject, but it's not doing the chasing; it's being chased.)

Here's the tricky part: In passive voice, the receiver (the object of the action) often comes before the verb.

Example:

* Active: The cat ate the mouse. (Cat is the subject, performing the action)

* Passive: The mouse was eaten by the cat. (Mouse is the subject, receiving the action)

Key Takeaway:

The position of the receiver (object) relative to the verb doesn't determine active or passive voice. You need to look at the sentence structure and who is performing the action.
