Learn English – Active To Passive

active-voicepassive-voice

Have a question about forming passive sentences from active sentences.

1a "The rebels attacked the city from the hilltop."
2a "The teacher yelled at the students from his (teacher's) office."
3a "The spy observed the suspect from his (spy's) car."

For the above active sentences, if I write the following passive sentences:

1b "The city was attacked from the hilltop."
2b "The students were yelled at from the teacher's office."
3b "The suspect was observed from the spy's car."

Are some of the passive sentences not so good?

Best Answer

Passive voice can be represented in the form of a short participle. be + v3 = short participle. v3 - passive indicator. Past Simple Passive Voice: was/were + v3.

1b "The city was attacked by the rebels from the hilltop."

2b "The students were yelled at from the teacher's office."

3b "The suspect was observed from the spy's car."

Maybe "from" is wrong at 2b and 3b. I don't know exactly.
