Let's solve the worksheet step by step.
---
Q1. Identify the verb and state whether they are in active or passive voice.
#### a) *My mother made dinner.*
-
Verb: made
-
Voice: Active
- *Explanation:* The subject "my mother" performs the action (made) on the object "dinner." So, it’s active voice.
#### b) *I will teach Lily a lesson.*
-
Verb: will teach
-
Voice: Active
- *Explanation:* The subject "I" is doing the action of teaching to Lily. This is active voice.
#### c) *We shall be praised by everyone.*
-
Verb: shall be praised
-
Voice: Passive
- *Explanation:* The subject "we" is receiving the action ("praised") from "everyone." The structure "be + past participle" indicates passive voice.
#### d) *All the food has been eaten before I reached there.*
-
Verb: has been eaten
-
Voice: Passive
- *Explanation:* The subject "all the food" is receiving the action ("eaten"). The use of "has been eaten" shows passive voice (present perfect passive).
#### e) *The soldiers were taking him to the cell.*
-
Verb: were taking
-
Voice: Active
- *Explanation:* The subject "the soldiers" is performing the action of taking "him." Even though it's past continuous, the subject is doing the action — so active voice.

Q2. Change the sentences from Active to Passive Voice.
>
Rule for passive voice:
> Subject → Object of the active sentence
> Verb → Be + past participle
> Original object → becomes the new subject
#### a) *The wealthy owners grew flowers all around their house.*
-
Passive: Flowers were grown all around their house by the wealthy owners.
- *Explanation:* "Flowers" (object in active) becomes the subject in passive. "Were grown" is the passive form of "grew."
#### b) *The mason is building the tower.*
-
Passive: The tower is being built by the mason.
- *Explanation:* Present continuous passive: "is being built" corresponds to "is building."
#### c) *Our army has defeated the enemy.*
-
Passive: The enemy has been defeated by our army.
- *Explanation:* "Enemy" becomes the subject. "Has been defeated" is the present perfect passive form.
