What is a active voice and a passive voice?
Sam has an assignment from to practice using passive and active voice. He needs to rewrite sentences like "The ball was thrown by John" to "John threw the ball" and the other way around. Could you provide some additional sentences for him to practice converting between passive and active voice?
