Many businesses encourage their staff to use active sentences in their writing. This is because they consider the structure of passive sentences to be less flowing and the tone more flowery. For this reason, the Microsoft Word grammar checker often suggests an active version of a passive sentence.
For example:
The hook-shaped shoreline was eroded by time.
Time eroded the hook-shaped shoreline.
The hook-shaped shoreline was eroded by time.
Time eroded the hook-shaped shoreline.
