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.
