Sure, I can help you with that! Let's start by understanding the difference between active and passive sentences.

Active sentences have the subject performing the action, while passive sentences have the subject receiving the action. In other words, in active sentences, the subject is the doer, and in passive sentences, the subject is the receiver.

To rewrite active sentences as passive sentences, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the subject and the object in the active sentence.
Step 2: Move the object of the active sentence to the beginning of the passive sentence and make it the subject.
Step 3: Add a form of the verb "to be" (is, am, are, was, were) + past participle of the main verb.
Step 4: Add the preposition "by" before the original subject (optional).

Now, let's take an example active sentence and rewrite it as a passive sentence:

Active sentence: The teacher corrected my mistakes.

Step 1: Identify the subject and the object.
In this sentence, "The teacher" is the subject, and "my mistakes" is the object.

Step 2: Move the object to the beginning of the passive sentence and make it the subject.
Passive sentence: My mistakes...

Step 3: Add a form of the verb "to be" + past participle of the main verb.
Passive sentence: My mistakes were corrected...

Step 4: Add the preposition "by" before the original subject (optional).
Passive sentence: My mistakes were corrected by the teacher.

Complete passive sentence: My mistakes were corrected by the teacher.

By following these steps, we have successfully rewritten the active sentence "The teacher corrected my mistakes" as the passive sentence "My mistakes were corrected by the teacher."

Always remember to adjust the verb tense and subject-verb agreement when rewriting active sentences as passive sentences.
