Answer 2

To transform the given sentences into the passive voice, we need to shift the focus from the subject (the doer of the action) to the object (the receiver of the action). This involves moving the object to the subject position and the subject to a position after a form of the verb "to be" , , .

Here are the transformed sentences:

1) Frank built a house. - Passive: A house was built by Frank.

2) A mechanic repaired the DVD recorder. - Passive: The DVD recorder was repaired by a mechanic.

3) Grandmother has told good stories. - Passive: Good stories have been told by Grandmother.

4) She checks her emails every morning. - Passive: Her emails are checked every morning by her.

5) Mary takes her son to the cinema every week. - Passive: Her son is taken to the cinema every week by Mary.

6) They have published a new article. - Passive: A new article has been published by them.

Please note that the passive voice can sometimes make sentences less clear, so it's important to use it judiciously .
