Their rolls would be reversed if you said "James threw John the ball."The meanings of these sentences are different, too:Only I said hi to Bob this morning.I only said hi to Bob this morning.I said only hi to Bob this morning.I said hi only to Bob this morning.I said hi to Bob only this morning.The first sentence suggests that nobody else said hi to Bob this morning. The second sentence suggests that I did nothing else with Bob this morning. The third sentence suggests that I said nothing else to Bob this morning. The fourth sentence suggests that I said hi to nobody else this morning. The fifth sentence suggests that this morning was the only time I said hi to Bob.

Active sentences have this basic form -- subject + verb + object.The subject is the person or thing that does the action of the verb. The object is the person or thing that "receives" the action egJames ate the cake.In this sentence we can see who did the action of eat (ate is past tense) it was James and the thing he ate was the cake (object).In passive sentences there is often no subject and the verb phrase has this form -- be + past participle The object is also in the subject position egThe cake was eaten.In passive sentences if you want to say who or what did the action of the verb then you do it by adding -- by + noun/noun phrase at the end of the sentence egThe cake was eaten by James.Passive sentences are often used for writing about a process where it is not important who or what does the action egThe letters are taken to the sorting room. There they are put in a sorting machine.
