Explanation:

To convert sentences from active to passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb form changes to include a form of “to be” plus the past participle of the main verb. The original subject becomes the agent, introduced by “by.”

Steps:

  1. Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence.
  2. Make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence.
  3. Use the appropriate form of “to be” + past participle of the verb.
  4. Add the original subject as the agent with “by” (optional if the agent is unknown or irrelevant).

This process helps in understanding how to transform sentences while maintaining their meaning.
