I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between active voices and passive voices. Here are some questions that I tried to answer, can someone please correct them for me?

Write P for passive or A for active

1.A tiny kitten wandered into the living room (A)

2.The test is taken by many highschool seniors {A)

3.The dog dug a hole in the yard to bury it's bone. (P)

4.Carol wrote a thank-you note to her grandmother. (A)

5.The black car was polished to a velvety sheen (P)

I know it seems as if I've just made wild guesses but I did try! Thanks!

(Note the TWO a's in "grammar.")

Active voice -- the subject of the sentence does the action of the verb.

Passive voice -- the subject of the sentence receives the action of the verb.

Examples:

Jack hit the baseball. (active because Jack did the hitting)

The baseball was hit by Jack. (passive because the baseball didn't do the hitting; it WAS hit.)

Rethink your answers above (some are correct!) and repost them.
OK Thanks! I'll repost when I get the answers
