Note: In task 2, sometimes it's not obvious who has completed the action so you may have to add a noun or pronoun. 

e.g. The letters were delivered on time. If you have to change this passive sentence into an active one, you may want to add a noun or pronoun - 

The postman delivered the letters on time. 

She delivered the letters on time. 

The girl delivered the letters on time.
