USAGE:

REMEMBER that we use Passive Voice only with transitive verbs (verbs which take an object - noun, pronoun, phrase, or clause): They built that castle in 1000. That castle was built in 1000. Find the direct object by asking Subject + Verb + What/Whom? My dad is driving Fred to his friend's house. My dad is driving whom? Fred. That's the direct object. So, drive is a transitive verb. |
