This sentence is in passive voice. To change it to active voice, you could say "Five dollars were present."
This is a passive sentence because the subject (dollars) is being acted upon rather than performing the action.
Yes, the sentence "We were told to wait until five o'clock for the delivery" is in the passive voice, as the subject (We) is receiving the action (being told to wait), rather than performing the action.
Starting with a sentence in the active voice, you change the object into the subject. Then you add the verb "to be" in the appropriate tense before the root verb. You can add the former subject after the word "by" E.g. "John hits Jim" "Jim" is the object, so he is now our subject. We add the present tense of "to be", which in this case is "is" and the root verb "hit" and "by" followed by the former subject "John". The sentence reads "Jim is hit by John." In the past tense "John hit Jim" becomes "Jim was hit by John". In the future, "John will hit Jim" becomes "Jim will be hit by John." A more complicated example: "The revolutionary tribunal sentenced the poor man to five years hard labour." becomes "The poor man was sentenced to five years hard labour by the revolutionary tribunal."
You spell it like this: Forty Five dollars.....
The value $65 is spelled "sixty-five dollars."
Passive. The subject, "children," is not doing the action. Also, a sentence is passive when a form of the verb "to be" is followed by a past participle- in this sentence it is "were taken." To make the sentence active, it would have to state "Five children went to the zoo" or "Someone took five children to the zoo."

Hi,no, it isn't. The passive would be "the agreement was signed by the five countries". Do you see the difference? The passive voice must have the auxiliary verb "to be", as in: a)"The food WAS brought in by the waiter"b)"The poem IS read by the student" The action is also preformed by someone/something other than the subject of the phrase. a) the subject is the food, but the action is performed by the waiterb) the subject is the poem, but the action is performed by the student Hope this helps!
Yes this is an active sentence because it tells us who did the action(run). Passive sentences don't usually tell us who did the action(verb). Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa in the 16th century. In this sentence we know who did the action (painted) it was Leonardo. This is an active sentence. The Mona Lisa was painted in the 16th century. In this sentence we don't know who did the action (painted). This is a passive sentence.
