I'm happy to help! Could you please provide the sentences with underlined verbs so that I can identify which one is in the passive voice?
The sentence "The potholes on our street will be repaired" has a verb in the passive voice ("will be repaired").
The verb "hired" is in the passive voice in the sentence.
In the active voice the subject of the sentence is the 'doer' of the action of the verb. In the passive voice the subject of the sentence is the 'recipient' of the action of the verb. 'The girl drank the lemonade' (active). 'The lemonade was drunk by the girl' (passive).
The verb "given" in the sentence "Were you given a second helping" is in the passive voice.
A sentence is in PASSIVE VOICE when the subject receives the action of the verb. In these sentences, the object is placed in the position of the subject and the verb is in PASSIVE VOICE. Example auxiliary verb(was in singular & were in plural) and past participle takes part in a sentence.

To change an active voice sentence to passive voice, move the object of the active sentence to the beginning of the passive sentence and include the appropriate form of the verb "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb to create the passive construction. For example, "The company launched a new product" in active voice becomes "A new product was launched by the company" in passive voice.
The two voices of a verb are active voice and passive voice. In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action, while in passive voice, the subject receives the action.
To change a sentence from active to passive voice, move the object of the active sentence to the subject position in the passive sentence and add a form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb. For example, "I ate the cake" in active voice becomes "The cake was eaten by me" in passive voice.
The verb were makes it passive.
"The cake was baked by my grandmother."
In the active-voice sentence "I should kill you," the receiver follows the verb. In the passive-voice sentence "You should be killed," the receiver precedes the verb. The difference between active and passive voice is merely the presence of the actor. In passive voice, the actor disappears.
The voice of the verb "are groomed" in the sentence is passive. It focuses on the action being done to the ski slopes by an unspecified subject.
