Practice identifying and forming sentences in the passive voice. This exercise will help you understand how to transform active sentences into passive ones and vice versa.
Tip: The passive voice is formed using a form of the verb 'to be' and the past participle of the main verb. It emphasizes the action or the receiver of the action rather than the doer.
