Key Points

• In Active Voice, a sentence emphasizes the subject, performing an action.
• In Passive Voice, a sentence emphasizes the action or the object of the sentence.
• The given sentence is in the active voice and it is in the past simple tense.

• Active format "V2 (wrote)" को passive format "was + V3 (written)" में परिवर्तित किया जाना चाहिए।
