To change the sentence 'Ram ate two apples' into passive voice, follow these steps:

Identify the Subject, Verb, and Object:

Subject: Ram
Verb: ate
Object: two apples


Swap the Object and Subject: In passive voice, the object of the active sentence (two apples) becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

Use an Appropriate Form of 'To Be': The verb 'ate' is in the past tense, so the corresponding 'to be' form is 'were' (because the object, 'two apples,' is plural).

Use the Past Participle of the Main Verb: The past participle of 'ate' is 'eaten.'

Include the Original Subject in a Prepositional Phrase (if needed): Add 'by Ram' to indicate who performed the action.


Putting it all together, the passive voice sentence is:
'Two apples were eaten by Ram.'
This process allows you to change an active voice sentence to passive, highlighting the action or the object rather than the subject performing the action.
