Hi !
For understanding how to change the active voice to passive voice we need to know about active and passive voice
But the first question is what is voice ?
• In English grammar voice is the form that a transitive verb talk to indirect whether a subject of the verb perform or receive the action.
For example -
• Meenu waters the plant .

[ the subject lolly receive the action ]
And now there are two types of Voice
• active voice - it indicates that the subject of the verb is acting or performing an action .
for example - shail blows the candles.

for example - the candles are blown by shail .
