Either of "Don't know" or "can't do" would have been better than your answer.
And would you please justify the use of article "the" in changing the voice of sentence.
Hope you would reply soon.

Many thanks
Who says that by changing the voice we don't make modifications?
we use definite article "The" when a certain thing is typical of someone, love is done by the lovers thus lovers will be preceded by Definite article The...
Next time mind your blatant language, i do not want to use foul words for you lest there should be no difference between you and me.
Forum doesn't have any screening method to evaluate the mental capacity of the person who are becoming the members doesn't mean that you will do against the decorum of forum...

No passive possible, as far as i can understand.
The previous attempt "it is loved by the lovers." doesnt explain what does "IT" represent in the beginning of the sentence?

Dear when there is no object predicate of a sentence, we change its voice by adding a modifier, IT here plays the role of a modifier...

The sentence Lovers love has an Active verb, thus it naturally has passive voice, lovers in my predicate are the Agent, through which the active action is performed.....

I hope you got my point...

Though i didnt get it perfectly but at least you've given me a point to think over.
I asked about "IT" because by using "IT" we are changing the sense of the sentence.I take " Lovers love" as " Lovers love (eachother).
Thanks bro

First of all let me know you that tha voice you changed is wrong alltogether. You are not even able to do a thing what you tagged a "bacho wala kam", further if you have any reservation regarding your position then let the seniors involve to correct,direct and school your position.

Second, who are you to make such satirical,ludicrous and immature remarks that "bacho wala kam choro baro wala karo".

Third,you have talked about the difference between you and me. For that I would say that you had better avoid such ridiculous comparisons because you can never be in place; no matter if you would have tried it since your liquid state!

Fourt, off course the worthy forum doesn't have any parameter through which ones mentality can be guaged before joining this worthy forum. If it had, you would not have been the memeber of this worthyforum.

Many thanks

The voice of this sentence cannot be changed into passive voice. For change of voice from active to passive, it is necessary that the verb is a transitive verb. The word 'try' is used both as transitive and intransitive verb. When the word 'try' is used in the sense of 'make an attempt', it cannot be changed into passive, because the word 'try' in the sense of 'make an attempt' is an intransitive verb.
