Complete Part I, then revise the sentences in Part II so that their
verbs are in the active voice. Some sentences could contain
more than one passive verb; correct them all, rewriting them
when necessary. Please do not merely eliminate information that
you find difficult to revise into active voice.
Example:
The bodies were discovered in the wreckage by several children
as they were walking to school.
Answer:
Several children discovered the bodies in the wreckage as they
walked to school.
Remember, you need to find the agent—the person or thing that
is performing the action expressed in the verb—and make it the
subject of the sentence:
· Do a global search for the words "was" and then "were." These
words often indicate the passive voice.
· Cross out the "was" or the "were."
· Add -ed to the verb that follows "was" or "were."
· If that changed verb does not make grammatical sense, it is an
irregular verb, so change it to the simple past tense.
· Move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's
subject slot
· Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning
with the prepositionby
· Add a form of the auxiliary verbbe to the main verb and
change the main verb's form
Please place a complete slug at the top left of your assignment.
Here is the quiz:

voices; then write a sentence in the passive voice and rewrite
