Your sentence on present perfect is correct. but the verb in the sentence is 'be' which cannot be changed to passive as it is an intransitive verb.
Here is the present perfect in passive form.

Thanks a lot for your kind help, vsuresh.

vsureshbut the verb in the sentence is 'be' which cannot be changed to passive as it is an intransitive verb.

I have two questions, please!
#1. Every "transitive verb including sentence can be changed 'active to passive' and 'passive to active'"
#2. How could I identify transitive(is it correct use of could) verbs? Should I memorize the 'transitive & intransitive' verbs?
Or, Does it depend on sentences? Like, "Weather will be changed?
In the above sentence, there is no object. Is it right way to understand that here, "change" is an intransitive verb.
Again, We will change your life style. Here, Is "change" a transitive verb? Because, here is object.
Now, my question is that, Does any verb depend on sentences that it is transitive or intransitive.

Thanks, teachers.

Hi
To change the verb from active to passive it has to have an object- direct or indirect
When the verb has an object, we call the verb transitive.When the verb does not have an object the verb is said to be intransitive.
Some verbs can be used as transitively as well as intransitively.
The glass broke. Intransitive.
He broke the glass. Transitive.
You need not the memorize transitive and intransitive verbs as it is not possible also as the verb as shown here can be used in both the ways.

Or, Does it depend on sentences? Like, "Weather will be changed?
This sentence sounds odd to me.
Look at this example.
The gate will be opened. passive voice

The verb is in passive voice and the agent - indirect object- here is understood as the gate cannot open by itself. Agent is omitted when it is not important.
John will open the gate. Active Voice

How could I identify transitive(is it correct use of could) verbs? I would use 'can' here as could in present is usually denotes polite way of saying /asking something
