how to change a sentence from active to passive

Sagot :

Simple rewording.

An active sentence would be:

The dog bit Mary.

"The dog" is the subject, "bit" is the verb, and "Mary" is the object being acted upon.

A passive sentence would be:

Mary was bitten by the dog.

The sentence is basically reversed. "Mary" is still the object being acted upon, but it comes first. "The dog" is still the subject performing the action, but it comes last.
