Explanation

While changing the voice, we interchange the respective places of the subject and the object. In passive voice, we always use the third form of the verb with the helping verb. Voice change is related only to the verb clause. Whenever, the object is anonymous, we prefer usage of 'nobody' in negative cases and 'anybody' in positive cases.
