What do you mean by active and passive voice?
What do you mean, what do I mean? Did I use the expression "active and passive voice"? I don't think so. No, you want to phrase your question "What is meant by the active and passive voice?", because that way you don't have to say who is using those words. You see, normally if you say something like "B. King is discussing active and passive voices" you have to say that it is B. King that is doing it, but if you don't know or don't want to say, you can turn it around backwards so it says, "Active and passive voices are being discussed." There. You don't know from that who is discussing it, do you?
Perhaps you would like to know what this turning around backwards is called? It's called the passive voice. Yes, I asked you to rephrase your question so it was in the passive voice ("What is meant by the active and passive voice?") rather than the active voice ("What do you mean by active and passive voice?").
How do you change active voice with reflexive pronoun to passive voice?
I assume you are thinking of a sentence like "I massaged myself." with the reflexive pronoun "myself". In a sentence like this the subject and object are the same person, so by putting it into the passive, you make the object the subject. Except that the object is already the subject, so the passive form comes out "I was massaged by myself." It is almost the same.
Same thing with third person reflexives. "She poisoned herself" is "She was poisoned by herself" in the passive.
