Active because The subject (the dog) caught the object (the ball). The passive term would be, the ball was caught by the dog.
The dog bit the stinger. The stinger, caught off guard, felt the sharp pain of the dog's teeth. In that moment, the stinger realized it needed to escape quickly. The unexpected encounter left the stinger shaken.

Barked IS a strong, or active, verb. An active verb shows action. Put it directly beside the noun-subject. The dog barked. The little dog barked as if a rock 'n roll drummer.
If you know the agent /doer of the action then the agent becomes the subject of the active sentence eg passive - The cat was chased by the dog (by the dog) tells us the dog is the agent or doer of the verb this becomes the subject. active - The dog chased the cat. If you don't know the agent of the passive sentence then you have to put someone or something as the subject. passive - The cat was chased. active - Something chased the cat.
This is not an active sentence so it cannot be changed to a passive sentence. Active sentences have a subject and a verb. eg The dog chased the cat. As a passive sentence -- The cat was chased.
In active voice, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb (e.g., "The dog chased the cat"). In passive voice, the subject receives the action denoted by the verb, with the object of the active sentence becoming the subject of the passive sentence (e.g., "The cat was chased by the dog").
If you want to change an active voice statement into the passive voice, you have to take the subject and make it into the direct object.Sounds confusing, so here's an example:Active Voice: Lucy walks her dog.Passive Voice: The dog is walked by Lucy.basic rules:a passive verb phrase follows this pattern:be +past participle egpresent simple: The dog is walked (by Lucy).by + noun/noun phrase is the agent and does not have to be included.past simple: Lucy walked the dog --- The dog was walkedpresent continuous: Lucy is walking the dog ---- The dog is being walked.past continuous: Lucy was walking the dog ---- The dog was being walked.present perfect: Lucy has walked the dog ------ The dog has been walked.past perfect: Lucy had walked the dog ---- The dog had been walked.
You reverse the subject and object in a sentence. Thus:The dog ate the bone becomes - the bone was eaten by the dog.ALSO:It is not always necessary to add who or what does the action in a passive sentence. One of the main uses of passive is when, who or what does the action (the agent) does not matter or is not known eg:Tea is picked and is taken to the drying sheds. There it is spread out to dry and then packed into large boxes for transport to the packing facilities.
The correct spelling is bitten. The boy was bitten by the dog. (passive sentence construction) better written as: The dog bit the boy. (active sentence construction)

Passive is formed with be verb + past participlepresent simple active = eat / asks. passive = is eaten / is askedpast simple active = ate /asked. passive = was eaten / was askedpresent continuous active = is eating / are asking. passive = is being eaten / are being askedpast continuous active = was asking / were eating. passive = was being asked / were being eatenpresent perfect active = has asked / have eaten. passive = has been asked / have been eaten.past perfect active = had asked / had eaten. passive = had been asked / had been eatenIn active sentences the subject or actor (the doer of the action of the verb) comes at the before the verb eg:The dog chased the cat.In this sentence the dog is the doer of the action 'chased'.Passive sentences allow us to put some thing else that is not the subject in the position of the subject eg:The cat was chased (by the mouse). The actor/agent 'by the mouse' - can be left out
In a active sentence we can see who or what does the action of the verb:The dog chased the cat. -- The dog does the action of chase.In a passive sentence we don't have to know who or what does the action of the verb:The cat was chased.If you want to add who or what does the action (the agent) in a passive sentence then you use by + noun or noun phrase.The cat was chased by the dog.The verb form for passive sentences is be + past participle.The sugar is kept in the cupboard.The house is being built next year.

active voice: Lucy walks the dog.In this sentence we are told the subject is Lucy ( who or what does the verb - Lucy walks)passive voice: The dog was walked.In this sentence we are not told who or what did the action. We can add by Lucy at the end of the sentence but it is not necessary.The dog was walked by Lucy.The emphasis in the passive sentence is the object of the sentence.When the verb takes the action from the subject (the doer) and passes on to the object (the receiver), the verb is said to be in Active voice.I helped my friend.When the subject receives the action, the subject is the receiver of the action, the verb is said to be in Passive Voice.My friend was helped (by me).
