To change each sentence to the passive voice, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject and the object in the active voice sentence.
2. Make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence.
3. Use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
4. Optionally, include the agent (the original subject) using "by."
