P. 6
6. When the verb is changed from the Active Voice to the Passive
Voice, the Object of the Transitive Verb in the Active Voice becomes
the Subject of the Verb in the Passive Voice.
7. Since the Object of a verb in the Active Voice becomes the Subject of
the Passive form, it follows that only Transitive Verbs can be used in the
Passive Voice ,because an Intransitive Verb has no Object.
8. The number of the verb is changed according to the number and
person of the subject.
9.Change the subject into object
FORMULA with Example:
Active Voice: Sameer wrote a letter. (Subject) + (verb) + (object).
Passive Voice: A letter was written by Sameer. (Object) + (auxiliary
verb) + (past participle) + (by subject).
