Explanation:

In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject carries out the action denoted by the verb. As the subject does/acts upon the verb in such sentences, these sentences are said to be in the active voice. However, you can change the word order of many active sentences so that the subject is no longer active, but being acted upon by the verb or passive. Because the subject is being acted upon, these sentences are said to be passive.

To do so, you should move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject slot, place the active sentence's subject into a by-phrase, and add the auxilary verb to be and then change the form of the main verb (past participle form).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
