A green grocer sells potatoes into passive voice

English

Is it you who asks over and over again how to change an active sentence into the passive? I must have seen some 20 such questions.

If so, you really need to learn the difference between a subject and an object, so you stop asking basically the same question again and again.

An active sentence has a subject (person doing something), a verb (what the person does) and either a direct object (the thing that takes the action) or an indirect object (the person receiving the thing that takes the action.

Mary (subject) throws (verb) the ball (direct object) to me (indirect object).

Mary throws me the ball. (Same thing, but in a different word order).

The passive voice simply uses the object (ball) as the subject of the new sentence and the verb is then changed to a past participle* and attached to some firm of “to be”. The original subject can be removed, or added as an afterthought,

So, the ball IS THROWN. The ball IS BEING THROWN. or The ball WAS THROWN — are all passive sentences. You can add Mary at the end with “by Mary”.

Nothing changes if you make it a question.

Is Mary throwing the ball? Passive: Is the ball being thrown (by Mary)?

(Look up the meaning of past participle if you need to).
So now, figure out your own sentence and please stop using Quora over and over again for the same grammar question.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

by using a simpler sentence structure

Explanation:

The writer could best improve his or her sentence fluency by using simpler sentence structures.

For example, the writer could divide the underlined sentences into shorter sentences to avoid using too many clauses in one sentence.

Spending time in nature is a great way to relax after a long, busy day at work or at school. When they explore the great outdoors, people who feel stressed at the end of the day can refresh themselves with a walk in the woods, where they can find themselves feeling happier and more content, which is always a good thing. While enjoying the fresh air and natural light, they can look at wild animals, birds, flowers, trees, and interesting cloud formations. When people need a break, whether they live in the country or the city, where public parks are available, they will find that nature, which is all around

us, is the perfect place to get away from it all.

What should be eliminated when revising an essay?
otez555 [7]
Repetition of transitional devices as well as repetition of sentence structure could be eliminated. Transition devices should be different every time and if sentence structure is also the same it can ruin the flow.
