Active and Passive Voice
There is a little trick to help you tell whether or not a sentence is written in active voice or passive voice.
If you can insert the words "by zombies" after the verb in a senence, and it would make sense, that is passive voice.
Active: The zombies chased [by zombies] her
Passive: She was chased [by zombies]
