Passive voice uses verbs like is, are, was and were.

She was sad.

Sometimes you just can't avoid a sentence like that. Try using "She felt sad," instead. The emphasis is on how she felt but both get the point across.

I kind of feel like passive voice is for telling and active voice is for showing.
