Answer:
The palace was built long ago ( by somebody) ( Passive voice)
Explanation:
Active voice: -
In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.
For example,
1.Rahul reads the book
2.Mita is playing cricket.
These examples show that the subject is doing the verb's action. As the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be in the active voice.
•Passive voice: -
Many active sentences (those with a direct object) can have their typical word order changed such that the subject becomes passive and the verb performs the action instead of the subject.
For example,
1.Book is being read by Rahul
2.Cricket was being played by Mita.
In these instances, take note of how the subject-verb relationship has altered.
Such lines are considered to be in the passive voice since the subject is being "acted upon" (or is in the passive).
•The given sentence, somebody built the palace long ago, is in Active voice.
We can convert it to Passive voice by Identifying the subject, verb, direct object and then changing the order in such way that the subject becomes passive.
Subject = Somebody
Verb = built
Direct object = palace
We will rewrite it as: -
The palace was built long ago.
We can avoid using' by somebody' or add it at the end.
