Changing from Active Into Passive
To change a sentence from the active into the passive:
·         The object of the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.
·         The  active verb remains in the same tense, but changes into a passive form.
·         The subject of the active sentence becomes the agent, and is either introduced with the preposition by or omitted.
·         Only transitive verbs (verbs followed by an object) can be changed into the passive.
·         E.g. active: Peter feeds the cows. (transitive verb)   passive: the cows are fed by Peter.
·         But: They leave for work early every day. (The verb leave in this sentence is intransitive; that is it is not followed by an object. The sentence cannot be changed into the passive.)

subject

a report.

by Sharon.


We use by+ agent to say who or what carries out the action. We use with instrument/material/ingredient to say what the agent used.
·         e.g. A kite was made by John. It was made with paper, paint and string.
The agent is often omitted in the passive sentence when the subject of the sentence is one of the following words: people, one, someone/somebody, they, he, etc.
·         e.g. active: people eat a lot of junk food nowadays.     Passive: a lot of junk food is eaten nowadays.

Object pronouns( me, you, him, etc.) become subject pronouns (I, you, he, etc.)  in the passive.
·         e.g. active: They rescued me.     Passive: I was rescued.
