Turn from Active to Passive

English
1 answer:
liraira [26]3 years ago
4 0

The passive voice is constructed by placing the normal subject of a sentence at the end making it the agent of a passive voice sentence, at the same time the object of the sentence becomes the new subject of the sentence. The agent still performs the action of the verb, but the verbal structure is placed before the agent to stress the importance of the action over the agent who executes the action. Example:

Active sentence example: subject + <u>verb +</u><em>object</em>

I <u>eat</u> <em>pizza </em>every day.

passive sentence conversion:  <em>object </em>+ <u>verb</u> + agent

<em>Pizza </em><u>was eaten</u> by me.

sometimes the agent is not even present in the passive voice because it is not that important.

Now that we know how to make it, let's change these sentences from active to passive:

b. The mail-order company sent Mrs Green a parcel.

d. The secretary has given Mrs Jones some letters.

e. The traffic warden had already given him a ticket for illegal parking.

f. John gave Elizabeth that beautiful ring.

I hope this helps you.

Evaluate the title of the novella. Why did Camus choose The Stranger? Is it an effective title for this work?. Your answer shoul
BartSMP [9]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, we need to understand the title of the story. Camus is born in French, so this is the reason why he decided to write the book the Stranger in France. Since it was all right and that is the reason why he decided to give the book with a French title.. it is here there strange things happen is its translation.

Arguing with translation brings the semantics with fun activities. Since the main character is, a foreigner makes the story interesting
