Dear Native Speakers, let me ask you some questions about the active voice and passive voice.
(1) Mother is cooking chicken curry in the kitchen.
(2) This man sells fruits and vegetables in the market.
(3) The author will write a new novel in June.
(4) The keepers feed the animals in the morning and evening.
I'd like to know where I should place the adverb phrases of ``place and time´´ in the sentences when I change the above sentences into the passive voice. Thank you so much.

If I rewrite the above sentences as the following ways, are the positions of the adverb phrases of place and time correct? (1) Chicken curry is being cooked in the kitchen by mother. (2) Fruits and vegetables are sold in the market by this man. (3) A new novel will be written in June by the author. (4) The animals are fed in the morning and evening by the keepers.

These are awkward in the passive voice. They sound contrived.
(1) Chicken curry is being cooked by my mother in the kitchen.
(2) Fruits and vegetables are sold by this man in the market.
(3) A new novel will be written by the author in June.
(4) The animals are fed by the keepers in the morning and evening.

Do you mean I should place the adverb phrases of time and place after `` by ´´ in the passive voice? Thank you again.

AnonymousI should place the adverb phrases of time and place after `` by ´´ in the passive voice?I would do that, at least in your sentences.
