The sentence "The house was painted by the family to sell in March" uses the passive voice. In this construction, the subject (the house) receives the action (was painted) rather than performing it. The doer of the action (the family) is mentioned but is not the subject of the sentence.
Decide if each sentence uses the active or passive voice. The house was painted by the family to sale in March. Is that an active voice or a passive voice
