Change from active voice to passive voice involves restructuring a sentence so that the subject of the active sentence becomes the object in the passive sentence, and vice versa.
- The given sentence is in the past continuous tense and in the passive voice.
-
The rule for changing the given sentence in past continuous tense is from passive voice to active passive voice.
- Interchange the object and subject with each other, i.e., the object of the passive sentence becomes the subject of the active sentence.
- The helping verb comes before the object in the active voice, as the passive voice starts with the object of the active voice.
