How do you change interrogative present simple active voice sentences into passive voice?
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?"
What is the difference between verbs in active and passive voice?
Verbs in active voice focus on the subject performing the action, while verbs in passive voice focus on the action being done to the subject. In active voice, the subject of the sentence is doing the action, while in passive voice, the subject is receiving the action.
Is this a passive or active sentence accidents are witnessed every day?
Any time the verb is a form of "to be", it is passive voice. The passive verbs include: is, are, were, be, being, been, have, had Additionally, one clue to passive sentences is when the verb is followed by "by". " Example: The accidents are witnessed by other motorists every day." Sometimes, passive sentences are perfectly okay to use when the "actor" (who is doing the action) is unimportant. But too many passive sentences make reading boring, and passive makes longer sentences. Example, passive Every day, accidents are witnessed by other motorists. Records of accidents are kept by local police departments and statistics are compiled by State agencies and by insurance companies. As determined by authorities, most accidents are caused by people who are inattentive or distracted. Example, active. Other motorists witness accidents every day. Local police departments keep records, which State agencies and insurance companies use to create statistics. These authorities determined that inattentive or distracted drivers cause the most accidents. Note that the both examples say the same thing but the noun is followed by an active verb (witness; keep; use; determined). Also note that the passive example is longer than the active example. The active example uses fewer words, is easier to read, and still makes the same points.
