3. The Harry Potter books are translated into many languages.
4. These pictures were taken by Barbara while traveling in Africa.

Answer 2

To change the sentences from active voice to passive voice, we need to follow the general structure of a passive sentence:

Passive voice: subject + auxiliary verb (be) + past participle + by + agent (optional)

1. Active: She will do it next Saturday. Passive: It will be done by her next Saturday.

2. Active: Kate won't clean the carpet tomorrow. Passive: The carpet won't be cleaned by Kate tomorrow.

3. Active: They translate the Harry Potter books into many languages. Passive: The Harry Potter books are translated into many languages by them.

4. Active: Barbara took these pictures while traveling in Africa. Passive: These pictures were taken by Barbara while traveling in Africa.

In the passive voice, the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence, and the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The auxiliary verb "be" is used in the appropriate tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb. The agent (the doer of the action) is optional and can be included with the preposition "by".
