Answer 12

When a sentence is written passive voice, it's structured in such a way that it seems like the subject isn't really doing the action. Like, in this sentence:

A seedy motel is checked into as just part of the authentic road trip experience.

It tells you that the subject is doing something in a roundabout type of way, unlike in the sentence below, which directly says that the person is doing something.

Bessy checked into a seedy motel as part of the authentic road trip experience.

Answer 13

In this sentence, who is the subject:

Prometheus was punished severely by Zeus for stealing fire and giving it to mortals.

Answer 14

Prometheus

Answer 15

Not really--this is kind of tricky because there are two people in the sentence, but in this case Prometheus is an object. Zeus would be the subject here.

Answer 16

ohhhh ok

Answer 17

Sorry, OpenStudy just gave me some server trouble.

Okay, so, since Zeus is the subject, "Punished" is the action, and Prometheus is the object, which of the following sentences shows the subject directly acting against the object?

Punished severely was Prometheus by Zeus for stealing fire and giving it to mortals.
Zeus punished Prometheus severely for stealing fire and giving it to mortals.
For stealing fire and giving it to mortals, Prometheus was punished severely by Zeus.
Prometheus was severely punished for stealing fire and giving it to mortals.

Answer 18

So passive voice is the use of any form of the verb "to Be" plus the passed participle of another verb. for ex. The ball was kicked by Tom. "was" is the past tense of the verb "to be" and "Kicked" is the past participle. To make a sentence using the passive voice "active" voice, simply ask yourself "to whom" or "to what" at the end of the sentence. So you would say to yourself, The ball was kicked to whom or to what? the answer is Tom. Next take the answer, Tom, and make that the subject. So your active sentence would read, Tom kicked the ball.
Hope this helps and good luck!!
