Answer 2

Answer:

The passive voice: -

Roast turkey is cooked by the Hamiltons on special days.

                                              OR

Roast turkey is cooked on special days by Hamiltons.

Explanation:

• Generally speaking, we favour the active voice. That occurs when a subject acts onto an item. For example, I drink coffee. 'I' is the subject, verb is 'drink' and object is 'coffee'
• When we wish to highlight the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than the subject, we use the passive voice. This indicates that either the action itself is more essential than the subject, or that the subject is unknown to us. For example, Coffee was drunk by me.

• I drink coffee, for example, would have the subject (the person or thing doing the action) come first, then the verb, and then the object (the person or thing that the action happens to).

        So, in this instance, "I," "drink," and "coffee" make up the subject,    verb, and object.

• However, this is not always how sentences are formed. It's possible that we want to focus on the object first or that we don't want to identify the subject.  We can use a passive in this situation, which prioritises the object:

       Coffee was consumed/ drunk. (we might add "by me," but it isn't     necessary).

• The given sentence, The Hamiltons cook roast turkey on special days, is in active voice. Here 'the Hamiltons' is the subject, 'cook' is the verb and 'roast turkey' is the direct object. To convert it into passive voice,

1. We put the direct object first,
2. Followed by a modal/auxiliary verb. ( here we use 'is')
3. verb in suitable form. ( present tense 'cook' changed to past 'cooked'.
4. Add 'by' followed by the subject, 'the Hamiltons'.Ending with the indirect object ,'on special days'.
