Answers
Explanation:
All believed that he was guilty of this murder.
Answer:
Other answers tell you that this is already in the passive form. And you have got the active form of this sentence too. Now instead of giving you the active form of this sentence ,I wish to help you in analyzing why you could not make it out.
Most of us in India are wrongly taught in our schools , how to identify a passive. We are asked to search for the preposition by.. If you find by then it is a passive!!!!
No. The voice is a characteristic feature of the verb. The next time you should not get into this confusion if you find the auxiliary in the BE form and the main verb in the past participle form.
We construct passive sentences with out an object ( followed by by) when we do not know the agent (doer) or when the agent is very obvious. In
He was found guilty of the murder
Was found is the verb . was is a BE form and found in past participle form this makes it a passive.
So the next obvious question is then what is the object of this sentence.
The implied object that is not given is the jury.
He was found guilty of murder by the jury. Or something that means it..
