passive voice I'm doing my homework and I have a problem with passive voice.
The active sentence is: She wrote a report to the director.
Can I change this sentence into : A report to the director was written ?
Thank you very much!

Teacher Re: passive voice If you started with "Jane wrote a report to the director", for example, you could change it to "A report to the director was written by Jane".

Teacher Re: passive voice If the active sentence is: 'She wrote a report to the director',
the passive sentence should be: 'A report to the director was written by her'.
