English

The sentence "People give the married couple gifts and money" becomes "The married couple is given gifts and money (by people)" in the passive voice.

<h3>What is the passive voice?</h3>

A sentence is written in the passive voice when its subject is not the one performing the action described by the verb. The action is done by an agent, which usually appears at the end of the sentence after preposition "by". For example: The tree was cut by me. --> I was the one who cut the tree.

We can transform the sentence in the question into a passive sentence by following the steps below:

  • Locate the original subject and transform it into the agent: People --> by people.
  • Locate the original object and transform it into the subject: The married couple.
  • Add the auxiliary "be" and use the main verb in its participle form: Give --> is given.

Thus, we can transform "People give the married couple gifts and money" into "The married couple is given gifts and money (by people)." It is important to mention that when the agent is "by people" is its often omitted.
