Passive Sentences

[بندر الصبحي]

Dear brothers and sister!

Many learners - teachers as well - think that changing active sentences into passive is easy, but it is not. Think of the following:


1. Don't kill the cat.

2. Open your book.

3. Do it

4. They did the work well.

5. People said that he was jealous of her.

6. He made us work.

7. I saw John kicking the ball.

8. I want her to take the chair away.

9. Your topic doesn't interest me.

10. Your success pleases me much

I'll post the answers later
May Allah grant you success
