The passive voice of "A lion killed an ox" is "An ox was killed by a lion."
In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb "killed" is changed to "was killed," and the agent of the action ("a lion") is introduced by the preposition "by."
Here's a breakdown of the changes:
- Active Voice: A lion (subject) killed (verb) an ox (object).
- Passive Voice: An ox (subject) was killed (verb) by a lion (agent).
The passive voice is often used to emphasize the object of the action or to de-emphasize the agent.
