Answer 2

To change the active voice into the passive voice, we generally need to rearrange the sentence structure and use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb.

Let's go through each sentence and convert them into the passive voice where possible:

1) A beautiful town lay on the river. Passive: The river was bordered by a beautiful town.

2) Someone remembered these facts. Passive: These facts were remembered by someone.

3) The valley stretched for miles. This sentence is already in the passive voice, so there is no need to change it.

4) People built a lot of skyscrapers in New York. Passive: A lot of skyscrapers were built in New York by people.

5) He showed me his new car. Passive: His new car was shown to me by him.

6) A small polar bear lived in the city zoo. This sentence is already in the passive voice, so there is no need to change it.

7) My granny grows daisies and pansies in her garden. Passive: Daisies and pansies are grown in my granny's garden.

8) Dick travelled to Australia last spring. Passive: Australia was traveled to by Dick last spring.

9) What happened in the class yesterday? Passive: What was happened in the class yesterday?

10) They discovered a small island in the middle of the lake. Passive: A small island was discovered in the middle of the lake by them.

11) James gave me a book. Passive: I was given a book by James.

12) We told her our address. Passive: Our address was told to her by us.

Please note that not all sentences can be converted into the passive voice, as it depends on the sentence structure and the verb used. In some cases, the passive voice may not convey the intended meaning or may sound awkward.
