Question

Which is the best way to change the voice in the following sentence from passive to active without changing the meaning? "Maddy, a smart and friendly girl, is liked by everyone."

Answer 1

Everyone likes Maddy, a smart and friendly girl.

Step-by-step explanation:

This sentence uses the active voice rather than the passive voice because the subject (Everyone) is performing the action (liking) on the object (Maddy).

The original sentence was in the passive voice because the focus was on the recipient of the action (Maddy) rather than the doer (everyone).
