Help to form the Passive!
|
Dear teachers, I am struggling with an exercise, could you help me please rewrite the sentences by changing the text in the quotation marks to the passive voice?  Yesterday, a new report was released by the government. It showed how �our actions have clear effects on the environment�. �We save energy when we switch to compact fluorescent bulbs�. Bigger changes were also reported, such as when �stores reduce CO2 emissions because they make changes to their buildings�. Thank you in advance!!!

YESTERDAY, A NEW REPORT WAS RELEASED BY THE GOVERNMENT. IT SHOWED HOW "CLEAR EFFECTS ARE HAD ON THE ENVIRONMENT BY OUR ACTIONS". ENERGY IS SAVED WHEN COMPACT FLUORESCENT BULBS ARE SWITCHED TO". BIGGER CHANGES WERE ALSO REPORTED, SUCH AS WHEN "CO2 EMISSIONS ARE REDUCED BECAUSE CHANGES ARE MADE TO THEIR BUILDINGS BY STORES." |

Hi, Although mariec�s answer for the first sentence is technically correct, it doesn�t quite work. This sentence can�t be changed directly to passive. A reasonable change would be It showed how the environment is clearly affected by our actions. Her other two changes are correct. Bruce |
