Why the sentence he comes to school doesnt have passive form when it has subject verb and object as sentence syntax?
In English, the passive voice is formed by using a form of "be" + past participle of the main verb. In the sentence "He comes to school," the verb "comes" is in active form. To change it to passive, you would have to rephrase it like "School is attended by him."
How do you make passive I want to speak English?
The passive is only possible within a limited number of tense forms and situations. i.e. Some tenses do not have passive forms.And some verbs that have passive forms may not always be used in the 'passive' way. There are no grammar rules about which verbs can and cannot be used in the passive. This knowledge comes with increased familiarity with the English language.RULE for the passive of present simple verbs: am/are/is + past participle.Applying this rule to the verb in the target sentence, 'I want' becomes 'is wanted by me.''to speak English' must also be changed from being the object of the sentence to being the subject of the sentence, and the complete sentence therefore changes from "I want to speak English" to "To speak English is wanted by me."However! This structure sounds very strange to native English speakers! In this situation it is much more usual to use, NOT in the passive form, but the active form, as given in the question: i.e. "I want to speak English."-----------------MORE INFORMATION about passives:Sentences with infinitives (or clauses) as their objects cannot normally change those objects into subjects of passive sentences. e.g. Mary likes to listen to music. (NOT To listen to music is liked by Mary.)Verbs expressing ideas such as hoping, liking, wanting, etc. and which are followed by infinitives, cannot usually be used in the passive form. e.g. I like my friends to say what they think. (NOT My friends are liked to say what they think.)

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.
