I will show you how to change sentences from active to passive. In active sentences, the subject is the agent, which means that the subject is the one that does the action of the verb.
Bill broke the window. (Bill is the subject, and Bill is the one that broke the window. )
In passive sentences, the grammatical subject does not do the action of the verb.
The window wa
Bill broke the window. (Bill is the subject, and Bill is the one that broke the window. )
In passive sentences, the grammatical subject does not do the action of the verb.
The window wa
