Help with active/passive voice
How would I write the following sentence in active voice?
I have never been impressed with the Netflix app.
I am using Hemingway app to write a piece and it complains (highlighting been impressed) a couple of sentences in the above format.
I find it odd to re-write as follows:
Netflix app does not impress me
Thanks for your suggestions
Solution 1:
The direct equivalent sentence in active voice, using the same tense, would be
The Netflix app has never impressed me.
If this feels odd to you, it could simply be that you personally prefer the sound of the passive voice, or more likely, that you are more used to hearing the passive voice when it comes to particular turns of phrase. People do use the passive voice quite a bit, naturally! If you are actively attempting to alter your writing style to fit the active voice, you will have to accept that certain phrases you are accustomed to by rote are going to sound a little different now.
