1. Active voice and passive voice are two different ways of constructing sentences. In active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb, while in passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb.
2. To convert a sentence from passive voice to active voice, you need to identify the subject of the sentence and make it the one performing the action of the verb. For example, if the original sentence in passive voice is "The cake was eaten by me," you can change it to active voice by saying "I ate the cake."
3. Passive voice is often used when the person or thing performing the action is unimportant or unknown. It shifts the focus onto the receiver of the action rather than the doer. For example, if you say "The car was stolen," it emphasizes that the car was taken without highlighting who stole it.
4. The sentence "Rebecca and Lauren went to the beach" is an example of active voice. In this sentence, the subject "Rebecca and Lauren" is performing the action "went" to the beach.
5. To revise the sentence "The Bluejays won," so that the person or thing doing the action comes with the verb, you can say "The Bluejays emerged victorious." This revision highlights that the Bluejays are the ones who won.
