Sure! Let's convert each
active voice sentence into
passive voice. In passive voice, the
object of the active sentence becomes the
subject, and the
verb is changed to include a form of
"to be" + past participle. The original subject may be omitted or introduced with "by".

🔹 Rules for Conversion:
-
Active: Subject + Verb + Object
-
Passive: Object + (was/were/has/have been/is/are being/will be) + Past Participle + (by Subject)
