[*] 275. When a transitive verb is changed from the Active to the Passive voice, the Direct Object becomes the Subject and is put in the Nominative case:—

Active: pater fīlium vocat, the father calls his son.
Passive: fīlius ā patre vocātur, the son is called by his father.
Active: lūnam et stellās vidēmus, we see the moon and the stars.
Passive: lūna et stellae videntur, the moon and stars are seen (appear).
