Question

Mike wrote two letters yesterday переделать в пассивном залоге

Answer 1

Yesterday two letters were written by mike.

Answer 2

The question in the passive voice

Mike wrote two letters yesterday can be rephrased in the passive voice as:

Two letters were written by Mike yesterday.

The passive voice construction involves using the past participle of the verb (written) and the auxiliary verb to be (were) along with the subject receiving the action (letters) rather than performing it (Mike).

Explaining the passive voice

The passive voice is a grammatical construction where the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performs it. It is formed by using the past participle of the main verb and an auxiliary form of to be. This shifts the focus from who performed the action (the agent) to what is receiving or being affected by the action.

In an active voice sentence like "Mike wrote two letters yesterday", Mike is the subject and agent performing the action of writing. In the passive voice equivalent "Two letters were written by Mike yesterday", the letters become the subject and focus as the things receiving the action of being written, while Mike is now in a prepositional phrase introduced by "by" to indicate he was the agent performing the writing action.

The passive voice is commonly used when the agent or performer of the action is unknown, unimportant, obvious from context, or when the speaker wants to bring more attention to the object/recipient of the action rather than who performed it. It allows omitting the agent/performer for brevity or other purposes.
