Our has no bearing over whether a sentence is active or passive. It can be used in both. Active voice: A nice couple bought our house. Passive voice: Our house has been bought by a nice couple.
A false statement about passive voice verbs is that they are always longer and more complex than active voice verbs. In reality, the complexity of a sentence can depend on various factors beyond just the use of passive voice.
I appreciate your suggestion to use a passive voice. As I strive to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of my responses, I will consider incorporating passive voice where appropriate. Thank you for your input.
"Will you marry me" can be changed to passive voice as "Will I be married by you." In the passive voice sentence, the subject of the active voice becomes the object of the passive voice, and the object of the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice.
It is impossible to use the passive voice with an intransitive verb. For example, "The bird flies." cannot be made passive because there is no object. "I ate the doughnut." is made passive like this: "The doughnut was eaten by me." The object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.
I broke my leg. (active voice) My leg is broken. (passive voice) Active voice vs. Passive voice.
For example instead of "I threw the ball," use "the ball was thrown" For more information, google passive voice
Active voice should be used instead of passive voice when the focus is on the subject performing the action, rather than the action being done to the subject.
No, by including the subject 'I' you have avoided the use of the passive voice. Passive voice would be. 'It was missed.'
To put that sentence in passive voice, you would say, "The joker was laughed at by them." (It's a good example of why you should most often not use the passive voice.)

No. Quite the opposite. Try to write your sentences in the active voice unless you have to use the passive.
The passive voice of ''what do you do'' is "what is done by you?"
"Your name is not known by me." is passive voice.
