To change a sentence from passive voice to active voice, follow these steps:
1. Understand the difference between active and passive voice: In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action, while in passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action.
2. Identify the subject and the verb in the passive sentence: The subject usually comes after the verb "to be" (such as "is," "was," "were," etc.), and the action verb is in its past participle form (usually ends with "-ed" or "-en").
3. Rewrite the sentence in active voice by switching the subject and the verb:
- Example of passive voice: The cake was baked by Sarah.
- Example of active voice: Sarah baked the cake.
In this example, the subject "Sarah" performs the action "baked," making it an active voice sentence.
Remember, the active voice is generally preferred as it adds clarity and directness to the sentence. However, the choice between active and passive voice depends on the context and emphasis you want to convey.
