⚠ Note:
1. Interrogative Sentences:
In interrogative sentences, the auxiliary verb will be placed at the beginning of the sentence.
If there is a W/H question word (who, what, when, why, how, etc.), the auxiliary verb will be placed after the W/H word.
Example:
Active: Who did the work?
Passive: By whom was the work done?
2. Imperative Sentences:
In imperative sentences, "Let" is used in passive voice.
If "Let" is not written in the active sentence, you must write "Let" in the passive sentence.
Examples:
Active: Let's do the work.
Passive: Let the work be done by us.
Active: Do the work.
Passive: Let the work be done.
3. Important:
Voice change is not applicable for optative sentences and exclamatory sentences.
