Step-by-step solution for: THE PASSIVE (MIXED TENSES): English ESL worksheets pdf & doc
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and change it from active to passive voice. Remember: in passive voice, the object of the action becomes the subject, and we use a form of “be” + past participle. The original subject (who did the action) can be left out or added with “by”.
We’ll do this carefully for all 25 sentences.
