Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Active and Passive Voice Exercise - Simple Present Only worksheet ...
To change sentences from the active voice to the passive voice, we follow these steps:

1. Identify the subject (the doer of the action) and the object (the receiver of the action).
2. Make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence.
3. Use the verb "to be" in the appropriate tense (in this case, the simple present tense: am/is/are) followed by the past participle of the main verb.
4. Optionally, include the phrase "by + subject" to indicate who performed the action.

Let's solve each sentence step by step:
