Active and passive voice

How do you change a sentence from active to passive voice?

• Identify the subject of the active sentence and keep it as the subject in the passive sentence.

• Identify the object of the active sentence, make it the subject of the passive sentence, and use the appropriate form of the verb 'to be' along with the past participle of the main verb.

• Change all verbs to their present tense forms and rearrange the sentence structure.

• Remove the object from the sentence and focus only on the subject.
