A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject of the sentence is acted upon by the verb, rather than performing the action. Passive voice sentences typically use a form of "to be" (such as "is," "was," "will be") along with the past participle of the main verb.
Passive voice can create sentences that are indirect and less clear because the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performs it. This can sometimes slow down communication or make it seem less focused. However, passive voice can also be useful in certain contexts, such as when the doer of the action is unknown or when the focus is on the receiver of the action.
To change interrogative present simple active voice sentences into passive voice, you typically move the object of the active sentence to the subject position in the passive sentence, and use a form of "be" along with the past participle of the verb. For example, change "Do you know the answer?" to "Is the answer known by you?"
Exclamatory sentences can be transformed into the passive voice by shifting the focus from the subject performing the action to the action itself. For example, "What a beautiful painting you have created!" can be transformed into "What a beautiful painting has been created by you!"

To transition from using passive voice to active voice in writing, focus on making the subject of the sentence the doer of the action. Use active verbs and rephrase sentences to clearly show who is performing the action. Practice by rewriting passive sentences in a more direct and engaging way.
