Question #38cfc

Answer 1

The passive voice of this sentence is

`"My house was broken into by thieves."`

Explanation:

One trick to recognize or generate the passive voice is to see if you can use the phrase `"by zombies!"` in the sentence.

Example:
"Zombies broke into my house."
You have used the word "zombies" all right, but not the phrase "BY zombies."

But if you make the sentence say "My house was broken into BY zombies," then this sentence is in the passive voice.

Another example:
A dog (or a zombie) bit me on the ankle.
This may use the word "zombie," but it doesn't say "by a zombie (or dog.)"

But if you change the structure of the sentence to say "I was bitten on the ankle by a zombie (or "by a dog"), then the sentence is in the passive voice.
