Conversion Practice: Rewriting Passive to Active Quiz

In active voice, the doer comes first, so 'Maria baked the cake' is correct.

In the active version, 'storm' is the subject doing the action 'broke' to 'window'.

Active voice rewrites should not change who did what or when it happened.

The principal is the doer, so in active voice the sentence starts with 'The principal'.

In the active version, 'Leo' is the subject who painted the picture.

The subject 'heavy rain' now does the action 'flooded' to 'streets'.

In the active sentence, 'science team' is the subject and 'designed' is the action.

Both clauses are rewritten so the doers 'team' and 'captain' are the subjects.

The verb changes to a simple past form so the subject 'student' clearly does the action.

The judges are the ones doing the action, so they become the subject in the active sentence.

The subject must be the doer, so the correct active sentence is 'Alex wrote the letter'.

The noun in the by-phrase is the doer of the action, so it becomes the subject in active voice.

Using 'will send' keeps the future time and puts Jenna as the subject.

Active voice usually needs a clear doer, so you sometimes infer a reasonable subject like 'Someone' or a specific group.

C clearly makes 'class' the subject that performs the action 'took'.

C supplies a clear doer 'principal' and keeps the same time and action.

You must first identify the real doer of the action so you can make it the subject in the active sentence.

A, C, and E use the pronoun 'They' correctly as the subject doing the action.

A, C, and E all place 'choir' as the subject doing the action 'sang/singing/will sing'.

A keeps the same time and meaning, and C is also active with the students as the subject.
