How do you change the boy pushed the tree over into passive voice?
The boys pushed the tree over. = active sentence. Boys = subject, pushed over = verb, tree = object(This sentence is a little different because it has a phrasal verb not a single word verb)To turn an active sentence into a passive sentence the object goes into the subject position =The treeNow the verb in a passive sentence is be + past participle. The verb (past tense of push over) in the active sentence = pushed over and the past participle is the same pushed over. The active sentence is a past sentence so the be verb in the passive sentence must be past = wasThe tree was pushed over. = the passive sentence. If you want to you can add the agent = the boys.The tree was pushed over by the boys. (But you don't have to add the agent).Another example:The dog chased the cat = The cat was chased. or The cat was chased (by the dog).We keep the sugar in the cupboard. = The sugar is kept in the cupboard or The sugar is kept in the cupboard by us.

Importance of active and passive voice?
Active voice is more direct, engaging, and clear because the subject of the sentence performs the action. It is generally preferred for writing that is concise and to the point. Passive voice can be useful when the focus is on the action or the receiver of the action rather than the doer, but it can make sentences wordy and less engaging.
