Definition of Active and Passive Voice:
· Active Voice: The subject performs the action of the verb.
· Example: She is cooking up stories so that she can escape punishment.
· Passive Voice: The object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the verb is changed to its past participle (V3) form.
· Example: Stories are being cooked up by her so that punishment can be escaped.

To change it to passive voice, follow these steps:
1. Identify Subject, Verb, and Object:
· Subject: She
· Verb: is cooking up
· Object: stories
2. Convert Verb Form (Active → Passive):
