Active sentence: The park ranger could not find any endangered animals in the lorry. Passive sentence: No animals could be found in the lorry by the park ranger. HINT: Use of the word "by" is always a tip off that a sentence is passive. HINT 2: The noun that appears after "by" in any passive sentence can be flipped to the front of the sentence and made into the subject; all passive sentences can be flipped to be active sentences. It often takes thought and re-wording to switch passive to active.
