Passive Voice Conversion Steps
- Object to Subject: The object of the active sentence, 'the singer', becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
- Verb Change: The past simple verb 'applauded' changes to the passive form 'was/were + past participle'. Since 'the singer' is singular, we use 'was'. The past participle of 'applaud' is 'applauded'. So, the verb becomes 'was applauded'.
- Subject to Agent: The subject of the active sentence, 'The audience', becomes the object of the preposition 'by'. This forms the agent phrase 'by the audience'.
- Include Adverb: The adverb 'enthusiastically' modifies the verb and is placed appropriately, typically after the verb.
- Combine Parts: Assemble the components: Subject + Passive Verb + Adverb + Agent Phrase.
