The colomber pursued him because he wanted to give him a pearl from the sea. It is believed that this pearl gives the bearer good luck, which is opposite of what the sailors were saying as they were claiming that someone on the ship was doomed and that it was bad luck.

Which sentences are written in passive voice?
Lorico [155]

Answer: Sentences 2, 4 and 5 are written in passive voice.

Explanation:

We use passive voice when we want to put an emphasis on the action and the object, rather than subject. In other words, subject is either insignificant in that particular case, or we do not know who/what the subject is. The object from the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.

For example, active sentence is: <em>One of my favorite authors wrote </em><em><u>that book</u></em>, while passive sentence is: <em><u>That book</u></em><em> was written by one of my favorite authors</em>.

We form passive from the auxiliary verb (often verb <em>to be</em>) and past participle.
