how to change this to passive form
People don't use public phones anymore
Answers
Answer: In passive voice, you make the object the subject, and apply the verb's past participle to it. So you must have the clause 'A phone call had been made' somewhere. Remember, 'A phone call' is now the subject - but it was certainly not driving, Mark was. So you cannot just append 'while driving' and leave it

Explanation:
Sentences that have a subject that performs the action are said to be in active voice. For example:-
- I played badminton in the evening.
- He helped his grandma.
Sentences that have a subject that receives the action are said to be in passive voice. For example:-
- Badminton was played by me in the evening.
- His grandma was helped by him.
To convert the following sentence from its active form to its passive form,
✰ We identify the subject (doer of the action), the object (recipient of the action) and the tense of the sentence. Here,
- Subject - People
- Object - Public phones
- Tense of the sentence - Simple present tense (negative)
✰ Interchanging the object with the subject, we add the preposition 'by' to the subject.
✰ We change the verb to its participle and add an auxiliary according to the tense of the sentence. Therefore, 'don't use' ➡ 'are not used'.
And we are done :D
