Passive Voice: Passive voice refers to a grammatical construction where the subject of the sentence undergoes an action rather than performing it. The focus shifts from the doer (you) to the receiver (elders).
·
Rule for converting into passive voice: Subject + base verb + object -> Object + auxiliary verb ('should be') + past participle of the main verb ('respected') + by + agent (if necessary, often omitted for general advice).
· In this conversion, "Elders should be respected" correctly shifts the action from the subject doing the respecting to the elders being respected, emphasizing the action's recipients without specifying the doer, fitting the context of general advice or directive.
