Explanation:

• In linguistics, voice is an eminent part which is of 2 types: a) active voice and b) passive voice.

• While active voice focuses on highlighting the subject, passive voice focuses on the action done by the subject. Voice is used to determine the tense of an oral or written statement.

• Change the narration refers to the conversion of the speech of the speaker from direct (repeating) to indirect (reporting) or vice-versa without altering the actual meaning. It is of 2 types:-
• Direct Speech: It refers to the exact representation or repetition of the words of the speaker bounded by a quotation or speech mark.

• Indirect or reported speech: It is the report or modification of the speaker's exact words without altering the meaning, represented without speech marks.

• Use of conjunction: As the name suggests, conjunction joins or combines two simple sentences to make a compound sentence. It describes the dependency of action upon others.

• An interrogative sentence is used to ask or interrogate something directly or indirectly.
