Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.
That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

The passive voice in English is often used
“when we prefer not to mention who or what does the action (for example, it's not known, it's obvious or we don't want to say)”,
e.g, a person killed five people with a gun in Fall City on Monday.
In the passive voice it sounds like this:
“when we prefer not to mention who or what does the action (for example, it's not known, it's obvious or we don't want to say)”,

In the passive voice it sounds like this:
Five people were found dead inside a home Monday morning in Fall City, Washington, after an incident involving gunfire, officials said.
Two adults and three school-age children were found dead, and a teenager was taken into custody.
