Extra info:-

In order to change passive voice to active voice, you need to recognize what the subject of the sentence is and then rewrite the sentence so the subject is performing the action.

Let's use the following example to understand how to change passive voice to active voice:

• Extensive training on the new safety procedures was required to be attended by the maintenance staff.

We can recognize that this sentence is in passive voice because the passive keyword "was" is used. Also, it's not initially clear who or what the sentence is about.

In order to change the sentence from passive to active:

Step One: Identify the subject of the sentence - who is doing an action? The training is not doing an action, so it can't be the subject. The only person or thing doing an action here is the maintenance staff. They are attending training. So, the maintenance staff is the subject of the sentence.

Step Two: Rewrite the sentence so the subject is performing the action. This sentence could be rewritten to active voice as follows:

• The maintenance staff had to attend extensive training on the new safety procedures.

This rewrite makes it immediately clear to the reader who is doing what. The subject is doing the action.

Answer 2

They saved the house from burning.

• In the active voice, the subject is given greater weight and it performs the action.
• This voice is put at the start of the sentence, while the object is given less weight and is placed at the conclusion.
• The tone of this voice is crisp, understandable and straightforward.
• Whereas, Instead of conveying an interest in the element causing the change, passive voice describes interest in the element that is experiencing the overall change.
• For example:

Active: They have produced over 1000 bikes in the past three years.

Passive: Over 1000 bikes have been produced in the past three years.

• In the given sentence, few people have saved the house from burning.
• Thus, the correct sentence is - They saved the house from burning.
