THE PASSIVE VOICE

Activity for my ACCESO students
We have been dealing with the Passive Voice in English this week. Remember that the difference between active and passive sentences is THE CHANGE OF THE POINT OF VIEW. We emphasize the DEED rather than the AGENT. We need a transitive sentence to change it to the passive voice. The OBJECT becomes the PASSIVE SUBJECT and the SUBJECT becomes the BY AGENT, which can be ommited if it is unnecessary or unknown.
There is a good explanation and lots of exercises in these links:
