a) Re-write the following sentences in the passive voice:
i) My father was purchasing the vegetables. (active)
The vegetables were being purchased by my father (passive)
ii) The children had drawn beautiful pictures. (active)
The beautiful pictures were drawn by the children (passive)
Rules:
Exchange the places of the subject and object. While converting a sentence from active to passive we should convert the main verb into its past participle which is also known as the third form of the verb. We should always use the word "by" in the passive sentence.
