Task 5: Active/Passive Voice

We need to decide if the subject performs the action (active) or receives the action (passive).

1. Jack has changed his hair hairstyle! No one can recognize him! (Active voice, present perfect, because Jack performed the action, and the result is relevant now.)
2. Eccentric clothes and accessories are not allowed in schools and colleges. (Passive voice, simple present, because clothes and accessories are not allowed by the rules, they don't allow themselves.)
3. We designed this car last year and it was a real breakthrough. (Active voice, simple past, because 'We' performed the action of designing.)
4. I don't usually buy concert tickets. My brother does it for me. (Active voice, simple present, because the brother performs the action of buying.)
5. I went to the seaside on holiday. I was very much impressed as I had never been to the sea before. (Passive voice, past perfect, because the state of 'being' is relevant to the past action of going to the seaside, and 'never been' indicates an experience prior to that.)

Answer: 1-has changed, 2-are not allowed, 3-designed, 4-does, 5-had never been
