Summary

Description
English: Consider the following active voice sentence:

More than 50,000 students applied to Oxford University last year.

‘More than 50,000 students’ is the sentence subject here, because these students were the ones doing the action described by the verb (the applying), whereas ‘Oxford University’ is the object because it is receiving the action described by the verb (the applications). It cannot be a passive sentence because the subjects are doing something (applying) to the object.
