Explanation:
In order to rewrite the sentence into an active sentence, we first need to determine the subject. In other words, we need to find out <em>who or what is performing the action.</em>
For example, let's take the sentence “The ball was kicked by the little girl.”
In this sentence, all the ball is doing is sitting there. The girl, however, is performing the action of kicking the ball, which would make her our subject.
Next, we move the subject to the beginning of the sentence and then describe the action and what or who is affected by it. So “The ball was kicked by the little girl” can be rewritten to “The little girl kicked the ball.”
