Why do writers often strive to write using more active-voice verbs and fewer passive-voice vers?
Writers often prefer to use active-voice because it makes the sentence more engaging for the reader. It describes someone or something doing something, as opposed to something just being done. Active voice is occasionally the only way a sentence may be constructed. Also, passive voice often makes sentences abnormally difficult to construct and read. For example: active: Fish live in the sea. passive: no passive voice version because there is no subject. Fish live + (preposition)... you can't construct a passive equivalency. active: I drove my car today! passive: My car was driven by me today! The passive voice makes the sentence very unwieldy, requiring a helping verb (was) not required in the active voice sentence. It adds extra words, and focuses on the object being acted upon, rather than whoever is performing the action.
Is the clause an adverb in the sentence Since you left our house early we washed the car?

How do you change active sentence in to passive voice?
Take the active sentence (for example "Jimmy bought the green car") and put the current object as the beginning of the sentence. ("The green car") Follow it by the appropriate form of the verb "to be" plus the past participle of the verb. (in this case "was bought") If you want to specify the subject, put it back in after the word "by". In this case our full example sentence becomes, "The green car was bought by Jimmy." Just saying "The green car was bought." would also be correct.As far as I know, these sentences are all passives: "His car is being washed" "The green car has not been stolen" "The blue car will be sold" "The door was left ajar" "The very crumpled, otherwise-fine-looking piece of paper on the floor over there was left by someone when he went through the recycling bin trying to find a card on which to scribble a sketchy map."The actives would be, respectively, as follows: "(Someone) is washing his car" "No one has stolen the green car" "(Someone) will sell the blue car" "(Someone) left the door ajar" I'll let you figure out the active to the last one!
What is the past participle of the verb to wash?

Is washes a verb?
I would think so. "She washes the car" - Washes is the verb. "She washed the car" - Washed is the verb. "She is washing the car" - Washing is the verb. So the infinitive 'wash' can be altered in a sense to fit the tense or the way in which it is said and fits in a sentence.
