    The document discusses the differences between active and passive voice in grammar. It explains how to change an active sentence to passive voice by: 1) making the object the subject, 2) adding a form of the verb "to be", 3) changing the main verb to a past participle, 4) adding "by" and the original subject, and 5) keeping or modifying the rest of the sentence. Examples are provided to illustrate how to transform the active sentences "Carlos cleaned the office in the mornings" and "Carlos ate tacos last night" into their passive equivalents.
