The image you provided is a worksheet titled "Active Voice to Passive Voice." The task involves converting sentences from active voice to passive voice. Below, I will explain the concept and provide solutions for the example and the exercises.

1. Active Voice: In an active sentence, the subject performs the action. The structure is typically:
Subject + Verb + Object.
Example: "The teacher gave us homework."
2. Passive Voice: In a passive sentence, the subject receives the action. The structure is typically:
Object + Verb (in passive form) + By + Subject.
Example: "We were given homework by the teacher."
To convert from active to passive:
- Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence.
- Make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence.
- Change the verb to its passive form (usually using "be + past participle").
- Add "by" followed by the original subject.
