The sentence "The girl recited the poem beautifully" is in the active voice. The subject of the sentence is "the girl" and the action is "recited." In the active voice, the subject performs the action.
To rewrite the sentence in the passive voice, the subject and the object of the sentence need to be swapped and the verb needs to be changed to its passive form. The passive voice sentence would be: "The poem was beautifully recited by the girl."
