Explanation
Identify the Object and Subject:
- Active Voice: "I had hoped that they would fix my locker while I was away, but they didn’t."
- Object: my locker
- Subject: they
Convert to Passive Voice:
- The object ("my locker") becomes the subject of the sentence.
- The verb phrase "would fix" changes to "would be fixed" to reflect the passive construction.
- The original subject ("they") is omitted as it is unspecified in the passive voice.
