Describe the Basic rules for changing active voice into passive voice?

To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:1. Move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject slot2. Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition by3. Add a form of the auxiliary verb be to the main verb and change the main verb's formBecause passive voice sentences necessarily add words and change the normal doer-action-receiver of action direction, they may make the reader work harder to understand the intended meaning.http://www.towson.edu/ows/activepass.htm

What did he do with money change in to passive voice?

The passive form of "What did he do with money?" is "What was done by him with money?". Here are the steps to work this out: Change the original active sentence from question form to declarative form: "He did what with money?" Then separate the tense from the verb in "did" to get "did do". Then change the active verb "do" to the passive form "be done", giving "did (past tense) be done". Then substitute the English irregular past form of "was" for "did be". In the passive, the original direct object ("what") becomes the new subject, and the original subject "he" becomes a prepositional phrase "by him" (adjusting the subject form "he" to the object form "him"). Now, we have "what was done by him with money". Ordinarily in finding the passive form of a question, the last step would be changing back from declarative form into question form, but in this case, the question form is the same, so we're done.


Passive voice to active voice help?

The passive voice describes an event without attributing it to a specific cause. For example, the food was eaten, the bed was made, the work was done, the criminal was killed, etc. The active voice says who did whatever it was that you are describing; I ate the food, mother made the bed, the employees did the work, the police killed the criminal.Active sentences tell us who did the action of the verb. They have the form: subject + verb + objecteg The dog chased the cat.Passive sentences allow us to put something that is not the doer of the verb in the subject position. They have the verb form be + past participle.eg The cat was chasedYou can if you want, say who or what chased the cat by adding the agent at the end of the sentence.eg The cat was chased by the dogPassive is used when the actor/agent is not important or is not known. Often when describing a process passive is usedeg Tea is grown in Sri Lanka. It is picked and taken to processing plants where it is dried and packed for exportOr if the actor is the most important bit of information we can add it at the end for emphasis.The Mona Lisa is a very well known painting. It was painted by Leonardo da Vinci


What type of verb is been?

forms of the infinitive "to be" ---- am, are, is, was, were, be, being, been, have, had might, may, must, could, can, would, will, should, shall, feel... "Being verbs" are sometimes necessary to clarify a sentence, and set up apposition (as in the case of this sentence). Stylistically, one should try to avoid use of the passive voice, in which the object "is being acted" upon by some agent, which is usually unspecified. Because of the ambiguity of what's doing the action in passive voice, the literary community tends to believe passive voice weakens writing, although scientific literature widely uses it. There is nothing wrong with the passive voice, though. It sometimes may be necessary, as in the case of using "being necessary", or "being able", both of which cannot be made active. A good rule of thumb to follow is that if the sentence can be rewritten with the subject as an object, it is passive. Consider the following sentences: 1) These "being verbs" are frowned upon in professional writing. This sentence is passive. The "being verbs" "are being acted" upon by another agent, in this case, professional writing. To make the sentence active, it should read: Professional writing frowns upon "being verbs". 2) The passive voice should be changed to an active voice; one should replace all being verbs with verbs that do more work and are more exciting. Again, the beginning of this sentence is passive. Analyzing the sentence, one can see that "the passive voice" can be changed by something, but it is unclear what. This is the ambiguity mentioned earlier that tends to weaken writing. Adding a most likely subject, the sentence now reads: One should change the passive voice; one should.... Finally, one should note that while the passive can weaken writing, it all depends on its use. In explanatory writing especially, as in the examples above, a writer will use the passive voice to separate himself from the subject.
