what is the rule on it


​

Answer 1

Answer:

The passive form is “I hate being laughed at”.

Answer 2

The passive voice of the above-provided sentence is correct, i.e., 'I hate being laughed at.'

There are some necessary steps or rules followed when changing such sentences to passive voice. They are listed down below-

• While changing a sentence from active to passive voice, often the word 'by' is added at the end.
• However, in this scenario, the subject i.e., 'people' can be easily understood or guessed.
• Therefore, we can avoid mentioning the subject in these types of cases.
• The subject, when mentioned is usually done so, in the end, after 'by'.
• The tense of the verb is also changed. Here, 'laughing' has been changed to 'being laughed'.
