Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 What is active and passive exercise?
Active and passive exercises are those exercises that either deal with the identification of the voices or changing active into passive voice or
vice versa.
Q2 How do you change passive voice to active?
To change a sentence in the passive voice to active voice, one must know the tense of the verb. Once students understand the tense of the
verb, it becomes easy for them to convert. First, we interchange the subject and object of the sentence and remove the ‘by’ from the sentence.
The verb in the sentence is also changed accordingly.
