How do I change passive voice to active voice?

At least 5 steps please. Precise and easy.How do I change passive voice to active voice?
For active voice, put the noun first and the verb second. Example: John types messages on his computer.



For passive voice, put the verb first, the noun last, and use the preposition ';by';. Example: The messages on the computer were typed by John.



There's more but this is a simple answer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_voiHow do I change passive voice to active voice?
1. practice spaking clearly into a dictor phone every night and see where you need room for improvement e.g. does you voice fluctaute from small to high etc

2. Place the dictor phone on the other side of the room and read from a book, this is to help you project your voice, which is why quiet people get drowned out in conversations.

3. stop saying things like sorry and please, and start talking in a more casual-dominant way like 'give me your fone a mniute'

4. dont talk too much, people wont take you seriously

5. be yourself, dunt try and take control if you cant.
Passive voice: The flowers were given by Matt.



Active voice: Matt gave the flowers.





To change passive voice to active, simply

(1) eliminate the ';by';;

(2) put the doer of the action (Matt) first so that it becomes the subject;

(3) followed by the simple past tense form of the verb (gave, instead of were given);

(4) the subject in the passive voice will become the predicate in the active voice (the flower);

(5) lastly, don't forget your period at the end of the sentence.
If you mean passive and active voice in grammar:



Passive voice: The book was read by me.



Active voice: I read the book.



Passive voice: The student was helped by the tutor.



Active voice: The tutor helped the student.



In active voice, the thing DOING the action goes first. In passive voice, the thing the action is being done on goes first.
O.K. First talk to the person like you know them so you don't feel insecure like a old friend from high school.

Second stop being self conscience about how you feel others perceive your conversation just be natural.

Third be yourself and don't be plastic people can tell if you're not being real.

Fourth Liston to the other person see if they have a positive approach to you as body language is 90 percent of everything if it's real.

Fifth Always say it was a pleasure meeting you i hope we might meet again and see how they respond.

Take the hint and don't take rejection so hard not everyone likes everyone else.
Passive voice and active voice are two different ways of describing actions. The same notion can be written in both active and passive voice.



I wrote this sentence. %26lt;-- active voice

This sentence was written by me. %26lt;-- passive voice



Both sentences convey the same idea, they are just written differently.



Here are some other examples:



I answered this question. (active voice)

This question was answered by me. (passive voice)



You gave me ten points. (active voice)

Ten points were given to me by you. (passive voice)
