active voice: Lucy walks the dog.

In this sentence we are told the subject is Lucy ( who or what does the verb - Lucy walks)

passive voice: The dog was walked.

In this sentence we are not told who or what did the action. We can add by Lucy at the end of the sentence but it is not necessary.

The dog was walked by Lucy.

The emphasis in the passive sentence is the object of the sentence.

When the verb takes the action from the subject (the doer) and passes on to the object (the receiver), the verb is said to be in Active voice.
I helped my friend.

When the subject receives the action, the subject is the receiver of the action, the verb is said to be in Passive Voice.
My friend was helped (by me).

The passive voice must have the verb 'to be' in the correct tense plus the past participle of the main verb. Here are some examples: I do (active)/it is done (passive) I did (active)/it was done (passive) I am doing (active)/it is being done (passive) I was doing (active)/it was being done (passive) and so on So to change protect into the passive would be I protect (active)/ It is protected (passive)

How do you change active to passive and passive to active?

To change an active sentence to passive, identify the object in the active sentence and make it the subject in the passive sentence. Move the subject of the active sentence to the phrase with "by" and change the verb to its past participle form. To change a passive sentence to active, identify the subject in the passive sentence and make it the subject in the active sentence. Use an appropriate active verb to describe the subject's action and add the original object of the passive sentence as the direct object in the active sentence.
