no. that is in the active voice. the passive voice would be: the point just couldn't be seen by me. When the doer or the subject is the one acting out the verb, then it is in the active voice.
Well, isn't that a lovely scene we have here! In the passive voice, we might say, "Rice is grown in the field by the farmer." Just like painting a happy little tree, it's all about shifting the focus and creating a peaceful balance in our sentences.

An active system has amplifiers and electronic crossover built in to the cabinet. A passive system has just the speakers and possibly a passive crossover (made up of capacitors and inductors) inside the cabinet. A passive system requires external amplifier(s) to work.
No, it's the passive voice that does that, although the blocking of communication may be just what the speaker wants. "An altercation took place in the pastor's office and a number of swear words were spoken" hides the doer of the action (the person who was swearing) which may be what you want if it was in fact the pastor who was swearing like a trooper.

You can't: there is no passive form of this verb--just as there is no passive form of the verb "to go". Why? Because in order to have a passive voice, the verb in question must be transitive: i.e., take an object. You can't should a thing, or go a thing. But you can, for instance, stroke a thing. So you can say that the thing is/was stroked--passive.
The passive voice of "don't come late" would be "late should not be come." In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, and the verb is changed to a form of "be" plus the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "come" becomes "be come" in the passive voice.
"Dave Has Just Painted The Garage" becomes "The garage has just been painted by Dave" (with the unusual initial capitalizations omitted). The general pattern is: Direct object in the active voice becomes subject in the passive voice; the verb in the active voice is replaced by the form of " to be" corresponding in tense to the original verb, followed by the past participle of the verb in the active voice; and the subject in the active voice becomes the object of the preposition "by" in the passive voice.
