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.

What does the faery handbag symbolize in the story?
muminat
The greatest part of the faery handbag is that there's a wrong way to open it — meaning a dangerous way, a way that can eat you alive. And it's that third compartment or “way of opening up” that separates the magical realism of childhood stories from the magical realism of stories for adults

Write an argumentative essay for or against always telling the truth, even in situations that may be hurtful to others.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Ok so i am against telling the truth and telling the truth i am for both this is because in a life or death situation sometimes you have to lie. But when your telling the truth less punishments come your way The truth is essential to all of humanity. Without it, society would be in a world full of chaos. Not only would trust fall apart, but exaggerated denial, deception, and the fear of love would come into play. Lying will always come with an expense.

Without truth, there is no trust. People will lose faith and know to never trust you again, which down the road can lead to trust issues in people close to them such as family members, friends, or lovers.

Even if a situation that may be harmful to someone else, consider it in a way that if they were to be lied to it'd make it even worse. Self-confidence would diminish and they could find themselves in a state of loneliness and misunderstanding.

Lying leads to worse cases than negative truths. Take for example, a boy wants to be become a musician. He always hits the wrong note when trying to play a g-chord, and so he becomes upset and asks if he's bad. A girl replies, "No, you're amazing!" and he continues pursuing a career choice without fixing his mistakes, ending up costing him the career.

The truth may hurt, but it is nothing compared to deception. No matter the case, cause, or correlation, honesty should always come first regardless of the situation.
