Conversion Practice: Rewriting Passive to Active Quiz

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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