Active voice is when a sentence is written so that the subject is performing the action, as opposed to the verb acting upon the subject, as in passive voice. Since the sentences are already in passive voice, they could be rewritten in active voice as:

1) In my neighborhood, developers are building many new apartment houses.

2) Our plans were changed abruptly when we recieved her message.

3) After the soup was served, they served the turkey.

In passive voice, the verb generally comes before the noun it relates to, whereas in active voice, the noun comes before the verb it relates to.
Ex. I pet the dog (active) vs. The dog was pet by me (passive)

I hope I could help!

Answer:

Hi ines! I don´t know if this will help you! i made my self

Explanation:

                                         “TO BE ON A WAR”

                                                    1914 – 1918

                            We think of war, we think of a conflict.

           Not one, not two, but three allies, against three adversaries.  

                  Also called the triple alliance and the triple entente.

                            Each battle has a winner, as does a loser.

                            And always a leader behind everything.

                           Marne, Galipoli, Verdun, Somme, Cambrai;

                             These battles were important in this war.

All the soldiers felt pain, fear, of not knowing if they were going to survive                                                                              the war;

   With our knees together, we crawled as we could through the mud.

                                  We get to the flashes of lights;

   We turned around and started walking towards that distant rest.

    Russia to the east, France to the west, and Germany had the best.

    Schlieffen counted on German victory , in the West would be quick;  

                      And that Russian mobilisation would be slow.

             The power to convince goes in what the person can see.

                    If it is something imaginary, you will not trust,

                           that is why propaganda was made of.
