Have I transformed correctly active to pasive sentences?
1) Mi fili, a magistro tuo bene erudiebaris.
Meus filius a magistro nostro bene erudiebatur.
2) Omnes nos verba vestra auribus accipiebamus.
Verba vestra a nobis omnibus auribus accipiebantur.
3) Iterum et saepius hostes diem colloquii statuebant.
Dies colloquii iterum et saepius a hostibus statuebatur.
4) Fulguribus terrebamini.
Vos fulguribus terrebamini.

Re: Transforming active to pasive sentences
the subject of the passive sentence (tu) becomes the direct object of the active sentence (te).Boban wrote:1) Mi fili, a magistro tuo bene erudiebaris.
Meus filius a magistro nostro bene erudiebatur.
don't change mi fili, there is no reason for a vocative to suddenly become the subject.
the ablative agent of the passive sentence (magistro tuo) becomes the subject of the active sentence (magister tuus).
correct2) Omnes nos verba vestra auribus accipiebamus.
Verba vestra a nobis omnibus auribus accipiebantur.
correct3) Iterum et saepius hostes diem colloquii statuebant.
Dies colloquii iterum et saepius a hostibus statuebatur.
you have not made the verb active.4) Fulguribus terrebamini.
Vos fulguribus terrebamini.
the ablative agent of the passive sentence (fulguribus) becomes the subject of the active sentence (fulgura).
flebile nescio quid queritur lyra, flebile lingua murmurat exanimis, respondent flebile ripae

Re: Transforming active to pasive sentences
If I understand you correctly, you think that 1. and 4. sentences are transformed from passive to active?
Well, I have wrote them from book and they seem to me already in passive, and what I did is just applied little extension by puting pronoun in 4. sentence and in 1. sentence I thought that I should just modified it with puting nominative of mi fili.
