Change into passive voice.

[Asif Junejo]

CHANGE INTO PASSIVE VOICE.
1. The rules forbid passengers to cross the railway line.
2. He pretended to be a baron.
3. You never hear of a happy millionaire.
4. The public will learn with astonishment that war is imminent.
5. The legend tells us how the castle received its name.
6.Why did he defraud you of your earnings?

brother first of all it is necessary to understand what Active and Passive voice are all about...
An Active sentence is the one in which the Active verb is used means the one in which the action performed (Verb) can clearly be associated with the subject...OR the subject is present in the sentence...look at following example...
That boy broke the chair...The boy (subject) broke (verb) the chair (object)...so you see that action is performed by the active subject and verb...
have a look at following sentence...
The chair was broken.
The chair was broken by that boy.
Both are passive voice...now you may say that in second sentence Subejct is present so why is it an passive one?
The subject is present but not in active sense, so here subject is not performing the function of a Subject rather it is called an Agent, so both are passive... concluding it we can say that in Active we know that who performs an action but in passive we can't associate the action with a subject or we don't know who performed an action...i hope you got it...

hahaha...brother my objective was just to make you understand the concept, rest i had left to you so that you do it on your own...these sentences are more than a walk in the park for me...shame on you that you can't deduce that if someone knows about such technical things, he must be well versed in this thing...well, i don't mind your ironical and satirical language...
Nasrullah has aptly converted these sentences and one or two minor mistakes that he has made, i will correct them...

3:A happy millionaire is never heard by you...(we convert in same sentence, just subject is made Agent in Passive, no time/tense change is made)..
6: why were you defrauded of your earnings by him? (Question remains a question)

MR Bilal what do u think of urself?This forum has been made for asking for help and recommendations from the people all over Pakistan. So did I . I just put those questions in order to get them solved by one's own guts & knowledge. But not put in order to know ur or someone else' abilitities. how dare u talk like that? if these sentences were easy for u to solve, so u had to solve them without ur chattering foolish and useless lecture. my language looks satirical to u? and the language u used in talk is just normal.. shame on ur partiality dude.....if u possess any ability, u should need to express for your benefit but not for in any case, to show off and demoralize to someone else.. You psycho. From now, don't ever dare to put a reply at my thread again. I don't want to relate with u anymore..U NONSENSE
