Task 5. Put the verbs into correct form in either ACTIVE or PASSIVE voice.

1. Jack changed his hair hairstyle! No one can recognize him!
(Possible Answer: Jack's hair hairstyle was changed! He cannot be recognized by anyone!)

Explanation: The verb "changed" is in the active voice, as it shows the subject "Jack" performing the action of changing his hairstyle. To convert it into the passive voice, we need to focus on the object of the action (Jack's hair hairstyle) and make it the subject of the sentence. The verb "changed" becomes "was changed," and the subject "Jack" becomes the agent of the passive voice sentence.

2. Eccentric clothes and accessories are not allowed in schools and colleges.
(Possible Answer: Schools and colleges do not allow eccentric clothes and accessories.)

Explanation: The verb "allowed" is in the passive voice, as it shows a rule or restriction imposed by someone (schools and colleges) on the subject (eccentric clothes and accessories). To convert it into the active voice, we need to focus on the subject (schools and colleges) as the one who sets the rule. The verb "are not allowed" becomes "do not allow," and the subject "eccentric clothes and accessories" becomes the object of the active voice sentence.

3. We designed this car last year and it was a real breakthrough.
(Possible Answer: This car was designed by us last year, and it was a real breakthrough.)

Explanation: The verb "designed" is in the active voice, as it shows the subject "we" performing the action of designing the car. To convert it into the passive voice, we need to focus on the object of the action (this car) and make it the subject of the sentence. The verb "designed" becomes "was designed," and the subject "we" becomes the agent of the passive voice sentence.

4. I don't usually buy concert tickets. My brother does it for me.
(Possible Answer: Concert tickets are not usually bought by me. They are bought by my brother for me.)

Explanation: The verb "bought" is in the active voice, as it shows the subject "brother" performing the action of buying concert tickets for me. To convert it into the passive voice, we need to focus on the object of the action (concert tickets) and make it the subject of the sentence. The verb "bought" becomes "are bought," and the subject "my brother" becomes the agent of the passive voice sentence.

5. I went to the seaside on holiday. I was very much impressed as I have never been to the sea before.
(Possible Answer: I went to the seaside on holiday. I was very much impressed as I had never been to the sea before.)

Explanation: The verb "been" is in the active voice, as it shows the subject "I" performing the action of going to the seaside and being impressed. There is no need to convert it into the passive voice, as it is already in the correct form.

6. If I were you, I would tell her how much it meant to me.
(Possible Answer: If you were me, she would be told how much it meant to you.)

Explanation: The verb "tell" is in the active voice, as it shows the subject "I" performing the action of telling someone (her) about how much something meant. To convert it into the passive voice, we need to focus on the object of the action (her) and make it the subject of the sentence. The subject "I" becomes the agent of the passive voice sentence, and the verb "tell" becomes "be told." Since the original sentence is in the conditional form, we change the subject "I" to "you" to match the condition.
