To change an active sentence to passive, identify the object in the active sentence and make it the subject in the passive sentence. Move the subject of the active sentence to the phrase with "by" and change the verb to its past participle form. To change a passive sentence to active, identify the subject in the passive sentence and make it the subject in the active sentence. Use an appropriate active verb to describe the subject's action and add the original object of the passive sentence as the direct object in the active sentence.
