General rules of changing the Active voice into Passive voice :-

★ The ' object ' in the Active voice becomes the ' subject ' in the Passive voice.

★ The ' subject' in the Active voice becomes the 'object' in the Passive voice. It's generally preceded by the preposition 'by' .

★ The main verb of the sentence is changed into past participate form and it is preceded by the correct form of 'Be' verb in Passive voice.

★ When the subject is a ' noun' , in Passive voice it's used unchanged , but if the subject is a 'pronoun ' , the correct objective form of that pronoun should be used in Passive voice.
