    This document provides 10 sentences with active verbs and asks the reader to transform them into the passive voice. It presents situations involving authors writing books, bills being paid or not paid, glasses being refilled, mistakes being discovered, chairs being broken or not broken, knowledge and its ability to impress, issues being decided, courses being taught, pollution affecting breathing, and houses being designed. Transforming these sentences to the passive voice would involve making the subject the recipient of the action and moving the initiator of the action, if known, to a prepositional phrase introduced by "by".
