What is the main problem with passive voice?

 
 
 
 
 

The main problem with passive voice is that it hides a responsible person. For example, “The memo was written yesterday”. Who did that? We don’t know. Of course, it also hides details, but in some cases it does no harm. For example, “The house was built in 1654”. We don’t really care about who built it unless it was a famous historical person.
