Active & passive voice: exercises

As promised, here is a series of exercises focussed on active and passive voice transformation.

The first set (click on the Jesse James' picture) is based on a bank heist narrative and consists of 4 activities: in the first, you have to arrange the story; in the second, you have to answer comprehension questions; in the third, you have to retell the story and in the fourth and last one, you have to fill in the gaps to complete the story -preferably, without looking at the previous or following pages.

The second set of activities (click on the London News' picture below) are also varied. Maybe it would be a better option to start off from the last one, which includes short biographies of three notable English people, as you only need to complete the texts with the verbs. You have the answer sheet in red following.

The page with the drawing of the cat contains transformations to passive or active but you are given the subject.

The subject of the passive is not provided in the activities on the first page (Change the sentences into the passive voice). Some of these sentences allow two options: either the direct object or the indirect one can be made the subject of the passive, so it would be wise to do both options to practise.
