Here is how to build the two voices:
active
{subject} + {verb} + {object}
passive
{object} + {be} + {past participle} + {by} + {subject}
There are three steps to making a passive sentence:
1 - make the object of the active sentence (the cake), the subject of the passive sentence:
active
Elsa ate the cake.
passive
The cake
2 - make the verb passive; we do this by using be and the past participle:
active
Elsa ate the cake.
passive
The cake was eaten
3 - we can leave it like that or make the subject of active sentence (Elsa) the object of the passive sentence - we introduce it with by:
active
Elsa ate the cake.
passive
The cake was eaten by Elsa.
that's enormously technical grammar questions. that is been ten years because my college grammar course. right here is those I remember. 3 - b. each is the priority and the verb style could be 'has' to agree in quantity. 4 - a 6 - d The rephrased sentence shape is awkward and must be divided into a minimum of two sentences. 8 - ing 9 - a 'Potatoes' is a noun. 12 - c 13 - d wherein case the 't' in the will become capitalized.
