How do i change the passive voice sentence: Pennies are thrown into the fountain by tourists. into an active voice sentence?

hartnn (hartnn):

In active voice sentence, the 'doer' comes first, here the action is performed by 'tourist', so the statement will start wit, 'Tourist ........'

hartnn (hartnn):

then comes the verb (action) part, so, are thrown will become 'throw' 'Tourists throw ......'

hartnn (hartnn):

then what did they throw ? Pennies 'Tourists throw pennies....' and then the remaining part, 'Tourists throw pennies into the fountain.' is your active voice sentence.

Are there other ways of doing it or is there only one form of active voice? @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

i can think of just this atm, if there are other ways, even i haven't learnt it.
