Passive voice (Intransitive verb)
We know that Intransitive verb can't be used in passive voice. But I am sure that they can be changed into passive voice if there is no change of meaning. Here are some examples-
1.Birds fly.
=By birds are flown.
2.She sings.
=By her is sung.
2.He goes to school.
=By him is gone to school
or, To school is gone by him.
But I am not sure whether above passive sentences are correct or not. Now, I need your help. Please, explain the matter with argumens.
