Grammar: Passive Verbs

I write in passive voice without knowing it. It's a passive thing. But I'm going to be better. Maybe. 

In passive voice the subject receives the action expressed in the verb and the subjected is acted upon. The English translation is something like this: The boy was bitten by the dog. The correct way to write this would be to say: The dog bit the boy. Yah! Active Voice!
