Converting Active Voice to Passive Voice:

Passive voice should not be used very often; however, it is used when the action is done by an unknown agent.

Active Voice = Subject + Verb + Direct Object

Jonathan hit the ball.

Passive Voice = Direct Object + To Be Form of Verb + Preposition + Subject

The ball was hit by Jonathan.

Are the following statements in active voice or passive voice? If they are in active voice, convert them to passive voice.

2.     By the time they begin to actually take action it will be too late for anyone.
