Step-by-step solution for: 623 Passive voice or active voice English ESL worksheets pdf…
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Passive Voice" that contains exercises for practicing the passive voice in English grammar. The worksheet includes two columns:
- Left Column (1–18): Sentences in the active voice that need to be rewritten in the passive voice.
- Right Column (19–35): Sentences already in the passive voice, which may require identifying or converting them back to active voice (though this isn't explicitly stated).
Let’s go through and solve each sentence in the left column, converting it into the passive voice.

These sentences are already in the passive voice. If the task is to convert them to active voice, here’s how:
19. We will copy this text.
→ We will copy this text. (Already active — possibly typo? Should be passive?)
Wait — let's check:
Actually, many of these seem to be active voice. Let's analyze:
19. We will copy this text. → Active
20. He has bought a new car. → Active
21. We are playing volley-ball now. → Active
22. Our teacher explained the rule. → Active
23. She translates the texts every day. → Active
24. She is watching a comedy film now. → Active
25. He put the candle on the table. → Active
26. Pam has bought a new ring recently. → Active
27. I will correct the mistakes. → Active
28. I have got a beautiful present. → Active
29. The car stopped the bus yesterday. → Active
30. I am playing the piano now. → Active
31. He has turned off the TV set. → Active
32. We receive e-mails every day. → Active
33. Nick is selling an ice-cream now. → Active
34. She will send money to her friend. → Active
35. I can Paris every year. → ✘ Grammatically incorrect. Likely meant: I visit Paris every year.
So the right column appears to be active voice sentences, possibly intended for conversion to passive voice, or perhaps there's a mix-up in the worksheet.
But based on the title “Passive Voice,” and the instruction in the left column ("Rewrite the sentences in Passive Voice"), we can assume the main task is the left column.
