Extra Information:
Active Voice - Passive Voice
First of all, Let's have a look at the rules while changing a sentence from Active voice to passive.
We know that, A sentence includes a subject, a verb and an object. Let's understand this by taking an example.
"My sister plays tennis."
Here, My sister is the subject, plays is the verb and tennis is the object.
Now,
Active voice: When a subject directly acts on the object, the sentence is in Active voice.
Passive voice: When the object is acted upon by subject, the sentence is in Passive voice.
Some points to remember :Simply, we've to exchange the place of the subject and the object, also the subject becomes the object while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice.
Use the word 'by' before the subject in the passive sentence.
