PART IV: Rewrite the following passive paragraph in active (10%) Rockets were invented by the Chinese about A. D. 1000. Gunpowder was packed into bamboo
tubes and ignited by means of a fuse. These rockets were fired by soldiers at enemy armies and
usually caused panic. In thirteenth-century England an improved form of gunpowder was
introduced by Roger Bacon. As a result, rockets were used in battles and were a common-
although unreliable-weapon. In the early eighteenth century a twenty-pound rocket that
traveled almost two miles was constructed by William Congreve, an English artillery expert, By
the late nineteenth century thought was given to supersonic speeds by the physicist Ernst Mach.
The sonic boom was predicted by him. The first liquid-fuel rocket was launched by the American
Robert Goddard in 1926. A pamphlet written by him anticipated almost all future rocket
developments. As a result of his pioneering work, he is called the father of modem rocketry.

The passive paragraph in the question can be rewritten in the active voice as follows:

- The Chinese invented the rocket about A.D. 1000. They packed gunpowder into bamboo tubes and ignited it by means of a fuse.

- Soldiers fired these rockets at enemy armies usually caused panic.

Explanation:

There are two grammatical voices in the English language:

The passive voice is usually recognized by the use of the construction by + the agent (the one who performs an action, e.g. by John). When we want to change a passive-voice sentence to active voice, we need to find the agent in the by + agent phrase or, if this phrase is omitted, consider carefully who or what is performing the action expressed in the verb. Then, we need to make that agent the subject of the sentence and change the verb accordingly.
