Answer 1

Answer:

voice :

In grammar, the voice of a verb describes the relationship between the action (or state) that the verb expresses and the participants identified by its arguments (subject, object, etc.). When the subject is the agent or doer of the action, the verb is in the active voice.

rules:

There are two basic rules for converting sentences from ActiveVoice into Passive Voice, which are common for all tenses. The places of subject and object will be interchanged in the sentence. Only 3rd form of the verb or Past Participle (e.g. written) will be used as a main verb in Passive Voice.
