1. JUAN FRANCISCO OÑA CORDOBA
ACTIVE PASSSIVE
To move an active sentence to passive:
The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the
passive.
The main verb by the auxiliary "to be" is replaced at the same
time along the main verb participle.
The subject of the main clause becomes passive complement
agent.
If we mention in prayer the subject performs the action (subject
agent), this will normally preceded by the preposition "by"
