ACTIVE VOICE - DefinitionThe form of a verb in which the subject is the person or thing that performs the action.
Example:They finished the work.[subject -- "they", verb -- "finished", object -- "work"]In this sentence, the subject (they) acts on the object (work). Other Examples:The teacher praises him.

Changing Active Voice Into Passive VoiceRule 1:Move the object of the active voice into the position of the subject (front of the sentence) in the passive voice. And move the subject of the active voice into the position of the object in the passive voice. Rule 2:Passive voice needs a helping verb to express the action.
Put the helping verb in the same tense as the original active sentence. The main verb of the active voice is always changed into a past participle (third form of the verb) in different ways. Rule 3:Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition 'by'. Rule 4:If the object in an active voice sentence is a pronoun (me, us, you, him, her, they, it), it changes in a passive voice sentence as follows:me -- I; us -- we; you -- you; him -- he; her -- she; them -- they; it - it
