Answer 2

Answer:

We are taught grammar by Ms Sullivan.  

Explanation:

• Voices in English textual grammar illustrate whether the subject of the Verb acts or is acted upon.

• An action in a sentence can be represented using two constructions, namely active and passive voice.

• They are simply two different ways of saying the exact thing with no difference in the meanings of these two forms.

• When the subject of the verb acts i.e subject is the doer the verb is said to be in the Active Voice.

• When the subject becomes the receiver of the action, the verb is said to be in the Passive Voice.

• When a verb is converted from the Active into Passive Voice, the object of the Active Verb replaces the Subject and vice-versa.

• The given sentence is in the active voice (present simple/ present indefinite tense) and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence "Ms Sullivan" replaces the object (us) and vice-versa.

• We know that tense does not change in voice change.

• Thus, the simple present tense, 'are' is used before the past participle(verb 3) form of the main verb (teach).

• The structural change can be written as (Active) Subject + Verb 1+ s/es+ object → Object+ is/am/are+ Verb 3+ by + subject (passive).

Therefore, the above sentence can be transformed into passive voice as follows-We are taught grammar by Ms Sullivan.
