Final answer:

To convert sentences to passive voice, the subject becomes the receiver of the action, and the action is described using a form of 'to be' plus the past participle, often including 'by' to introduce the actor.

Step-by-step explanation:

When converting sentences from active voice to passive voice, the subject is usually receiving the action rather than doing it, and the verb is accompanied by a form of the verb 'to be' followed by the past participle of the verb. Additionally, the preposition 'by' is often introduced before the actor of the sentence.

  • The pictures were taken in the airport.
  • The bank is opened at 9:00 am.
  • The house was cleaned because they are having a party tonight.
  • Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck were invented by Walt Disney.
  • The house was sold by Miriam.
  • Was the new mall finished being built last week?
  • This restaurant was opened in 1956.
  • This car is driven by Adrian Fernandez.
