Active voice sentence (AVS)

AVS--> Pavel has given a presentation

Steps to make a passive voice sentence (PVS)

1. The object of the AVS becomes the subject of the PVS.

2. We use the auxiliary to be at the same tense as the tense used for the verb in the AVS.

3. The verb of the AVS becomes a past participle in the PVS.

4. The subject of the AVS becomes the agent in the PVS introduced by "by".
