Passive to Active Voice Transformation
- Identify the object of the passive sentence: 'Fifty kids'. This will be the subject in the active sentence.
- Identify the verb phrase: 'are picked up'. The main verb is 'pick up'.
- Identify the agent (the doer of the action) in the passive sentence: 'by this bus'. This will be the subject in the active sentence.
- Change the verb tense from passive to active. 'Are picked up' (present passive) becomes 'pick up' (present active).
- Reconstruct the sentence in active voice: 'This bus picks up fifty kids for school every day.'
Active Voice: This bus picks up fifty kids for school every day.
