What is the passive voice of swimming is fun?
This is not an active sentence so it cannot be changed to a passive sentence. Active sentences have a subject and a verb. eg The dog chased the cat. As a passive sentence -- The cat was chased.
How can you pass a passive voice into an active voice?
If you know the agent /doer of the action then the agent becomes the subject of the active sentence eg passive - The cat was chased by the dog (by the dog) tells us the dog is the agent or doer of the verb this becomes the subject. active - The dog chased the cat. If you don't know the agent of the passive sentence then you have to put someone or something as the subject. passive - The cat was chased. active - Something chased the cat.

Sure! You can identify passive voice by looking for forms of the verb "to be" (such as is, are, was, were) followed by a past participle. To fix passive voice, try rephrasing the sentence to have the subject perform the action directly. This often results in a clearer, more direct sentence.
What is the passive voice in a sentence?
Passive voice allows us to put someone or something that is not the actor first in a sentence - in the position of the subject.Example : The cat was chased. (by the dog) - passiveThe dog chased the cat - active.Use the passive voice without the actor if the actor is not important or not known.Example : The Mona Lisa was painted in the 16th century.Help! The post office has been robbed!The passive allows us to leave the actor until the end of the sentence, if the actor is important.Example :The painting is very valuable, as it was painted by Van Gogh.To form a passive sentence: use be + the past participle (eg. is used/was eaten / is being asked).Example : The road is being built this year.
