Are these sentences really in Passive Voice?
Hello, friends.
I was doing my English homework here and now I'm stuck in a doubt. There's this exercise in which I have to rewrite the sentences from Passive to Active Voice. The first sentences were OK. For example:
The letters were sent by Julie. -> Julie sent the letters.
This message was written by me. -> I wrote this message.
And so on...
But then, I came across two sentences that I really don't know what to do:
1) You are offering something to drink to someone.
2) You are inviting someone to a concert.
Are these sentences really in Passive Voice? If so, how can I rewrite them using Active Voice? I really have no idea.
Thanks for the attention, guys.
Hugs,
Bruno

[You are offering] and [you are inviting] are clearly in active voice. How do you see them in passive? If you understand the examples you showed us, you shouldn't have problem with these two.

It seems to me that these sentences should not be part of the exercise on active and passive. They appear to be instructions for yet another exercise. Perhaps there's a misprin
