6)At last the speech ended and prizes were distributed.

Sentence has two parts:
1)At last the speech ended(Active)
2)Prizes were distributed.(Passive)

At last the speech was ended(by..) and they distributed the prizes.

Correct me if iam wrong.

Stay blessed.

[QUOTE=Durrani Abid;603753]6)At last the speech ended and prizes were distributed.

Sentence has two parts:
1)At last the speech ended(Active)
2)Prizes were distributed.(Passive)

At last the speech was ended(by..) and they distributed the prizes.

It means that active voice is changed into passive voice and vice a versa, even both forms exist in the same sentence, as mentioned in above example.
am i right?
..........
* the door was broken and they caught him.
=> someone broke the door and he was caught by them.
OR
he broke the door and was caught by them.
OR
they broke the door and caught him.
(Which one is correct in this case?)
thanks in advance:-)


[QUOTE=Syeda Bukhari;603653]1)

*It was raining outside.
=> Outside was being rained.
*It was raining.
=> Rain was being rained.
Or
It was being rained.
Absolutely fool[ish] query, but cool too! Guide me, if possible. Thanks

[QUOTE=iranibilly;604512]It cannot be this way, it's passive can't be: Outside was being rained
Actually all the sentences above donot have a proper subject so what my limited knowledge says we cannot form passive voice of these sentences.

[QUOTE=iranibilly;603940]Someone broke the door and he was caught by them.(Right)
He broke the door and was caught by them.(Can be)
They broke the door and caught him(Wrong).

[QUOTE=iranibilly;603940][QUOTE=Syeda Bukhari;604562]"Rain" is not a transitive verb,only transitive verb can be passive voiced.
However,if you use pharasal verb then it can be possible.
The outside is getting rained on.

The outside was getting rained on.
However,it's not grammatical but colloquial.


Stay blessed

That is what I wanted to say a proper passive voice isn't possible. It is informative, thanks for increasing my knowledge.

in the eighth sentence you changed will to would .but we do not change tenses in active passive so future tense shoud not be changed to past tense

interestingly, your point seems to be much valid. But, further guidance about this will be looked for...
