Since this is a very broad topic and there are different levels of achievement about it according to your previous experience and practice I am going to divide the topic in two sections ; INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCE. My advice is that you start practising with intermediate exercises and move up the level as you review. You can look over the exercises and jump to the ADVANCE LEVEL if you want to. There will be a micro-test on passive forms tomorrow. Let's start reviewing for that!

In case you tried some of the exercises too simple, concentrate on this set of exercise practice.
GENERAL EXERCISES
