Change the following sentence into the PASSIVE VOICE. Patrick opened the class.

The passive voice transformation of the sentence "Patrick opened the class" is: The class was opened by Patrick. Explanation: In the active voice, the subject performs the action. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action. The original sentence is in the active voice. Steps to transform it into passive voice: 1. Identify the object of the active sentence: "the class". This becomes the subject of the passive sentence. 2. Identify the verb: "opened". We need to use the appropriate form of "to be" (was/were) plus the past participle of the verb (opened). 3. Since "the class" is singular and the action happened in the past, we use "was opened". 4. The original subject "Patrick" becomes the object of the preposition "by". Thus, the passive voice version is: "The class was opened by Patrick."
