EXTRA PASSIVE VS. ACTIVE SENTENCE PRACTICE
(because Ms. Lopez loves you!)

Try to make these sentences with passive voice become active.  Remember that some may have more than one passive verb, an unclear subject, or even a pronoun as the second subject.  If you copy and paste them, you'll be less likely to forget part of the sentence.  Good luck (and dare I say have fun)!
