Hello Bal, welcome to EnglishForward!
Sorry Bal, I'm not competent to explain English grammar, but since you wrote it's urgent, let me cite one of the most basic instructions from this site:

??????????????????????????????????????????
?Changing active to passive?

If you want to change an active-voice sentence to passive voice, consider carefully who or what is performing the action expressed in the verb, and then make that agent the object of a "by the..." phrase.

Make what is acted upon the subject of the sentence,? ? and change the verb to a form of be + past participle.?

Including an explicit "by the..." phrase is optional.
??????????????????????????????????????????
You asked, Bal, 'how to transform long sentences..,' but what kind of long sentences?

Rotter · Answer

I would say the following in this connection.
Only transitive verbs (those that take objects) can be transformed into passive constructions.

On top of this the verb is active in the active voice.

Maria broke the window.

Maria is the subject here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now if you convert it into the passive voice:

The window was broken by Maria.
The window is the subjet here.

Voltaire wrote Candide. [Active voice]

Candide was written by Voltaire [ Passive voice]
---------------------------------------------------------
The minister will open the new building complex. [Active voice)
The new building complex will be opened by the minister. [Passive voice]
