Answer:
Below are the rules to follow for changing an active sentence into a passive voice. Before heading to the rules let’s check the examples of active and passive voice sentences.
Conversion of Active and passive voice examples
Rita wrote a letter (Subject + Verb + Object)
A letter was written by Rita (Object) + (auxiliary verb) + (past participle) + (by subject).
She cooks food (Subject + Verb + Object)
The food is cooked by her (Object) + (auxiliary verb) + (past participle) + (by subject)
Conversion of Active Voice into Passive Voice Rule
Rule 1. Identify the (S+V+O) Subject, Verb and object in the active sentence to convert to passive voice
Example:
He drives car (Subject – He, verb – Drives, object – Car)
Rule 2. Interchange the object and subject with each other i.e. object of the active sentence become the subject of the passive sentence.
Example :
Active voice : She knits sweater (Subject – She, Verb – Knits, Object – Sweater)
Passive Voice : The sweater is knitted by her (Object sweater is interchanged with the subject She).
Rule 3. In passive voice sometimes the subject is not used. I.e. the subject in passive voice can be omitted if the sentence without it gives enough meaning.
Example :
Milk is sold in litres
