Is this sentence active or passive. The custodian repaired the classroom door?

Both active and passive sentences have an action, but only active sentences show very specifically which particular person or thing is doing the action. 

This sentence would be passive if it said "The classroom door was repaired," because then we wouldn't know WHO or WHAT repaired the door.

The sentence would also be passive if it said "The classroom door was repaired by the custodian." Such a sentence places unnecessary distance between the agent (the person doing the action) and the action itself. Why say the door was repaired by the custodian when you could simply say the custodian repaired the door?

So the sentence in your question is definitely an active sentence.

Can someone write me an essay
otez555 [7]

Answer: I don’t know what kind of essay you want but here, An History essay

History is the learnings of the past that will shape the future. It teaches you that people make mistakes and how to learn from them. History has shaped who I am today by teaching me avout slavery and telling me about events in both religion and culture that has happened. It shaped me by telling me the mistakes and giving me the information that I would need on other cultures. My family history is black/ african american but I am mixed. We don't have traditions in our family. Our culture though is black culture. We respect others opinions but when it comes to the black community and to educate someone on it we tell the whole truth no matter how gruesome or how dehumanizing the facts may be during the times of slavery. But we don't just tell about the time of slavery we tell about the times that african tribes existed( and they still do today). We give them knowledge about our culture in africa what they did the stories and the culture there. All this influenced how I think by telling me that every persons race has been through slavery and that even though at one point black people did participate in slavery there is still pride in my culture because thats where I originate from. I know that I must tolerate other cultures cause just as islamic culture came to africa they tolerated it amd some integrated into it. I learned my family history through my grandma and history books. History is important because it taught me that humans aren't perfect that we make mistakes that although we view ourselves as the superior species in the end we can destroy ourselves from the inside.

How does an author use dashes and parentheses for comic effect
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Dashes and parentheses indicate an “aside” to the point you are making in your sentence. Although sometimes considered interchangeable, each serves a specific purpose in your writing. Dashes interrupt your writing to insert an interjection or pause, while parentheses gently add information to your point.
