Pictures for Active and Passive Verb



These are the examples of Passive Voice and Active Voice from "The Phantom of the opera" P.88 and P.92.
For the first picture:
The whole sentences is "Rauol ran out of the room." In this sentence, "Rauol" is the doer and "out of the room" is the receiver.

For the second picture:

The whole sentences is " He was wearing an Astrakhan hat that covered most of his face." "He" is the receiver and "an Astrakhan hat" is the doer.

Karen, study active and passive voice again; both examples are incorrect, though good tries.

Ran is an intransitive verb; there is no receiver; do you remember what transitive and intransitive verbs are?

"...was wearing" is past continuous tense; wearing is the present participle, not the past participle that is needed to create the passive voice.
