How can a writer change active voice to passive voice? A. show a change in time. B. use past tense verbs. C. remove all action words from the sentence. D. use a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the verb.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. use a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the verb.

In passive voice, the focus shifts from the subject performing an action to the subject receiving the action. To change a sentence from active to passive voice, you usually use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" combined with the past participle of the main verb. For example, the active voice sentence "The chef cooked the meal" can be changed to passive voice as "The meal was cooked by the chef."
