Is this considered a passive voice misuse?

English Language & Usage Asked by aghmiyu on July 27, 2020

"She was sleeping while the boy was tasked to clean up the house."

I came up with this sentence, it sounds right for me, but Grammarly keeps telling me that it’s a passive voice misuse. How can I fix this?

One Answer

Do not slavishly follow the advice of grammar checkers. Even better, do not use them at all. There is nothing wrong with the occasional use of the passive voice.
