Ответ от учителя
A lot of children and their parents visit the Circus. (Active voice)
The Circus is visited by a lot of children and their parents. (Passive voice)
In the passive voice sentence, the subject «The Circus» is no longer the doer of the action, but the receiver of the action. The focus is on the action of being visited, rather than who is doing the visiting. This construction is useful when the doer of the action is unknown, unimportant, or when the focus is on the action itself.
