1.- I will try to percuade my parents to buy me a car. (active)2.- I will try to get a new car by percuading my parents
Hi Guadalupe,You were supposed to use the word "talk."It looks like you tried "persuade" instead.But there are still problems with the active and passive voice here.You have gotten the active voice correct, though you could also say something like: "I will persuade my parents to buy me a car."The passive voice would be something like:"My parents will be persuaded to buy me a new car."

Hi Guadalupe,
You were supposed to use the word "talk."
It looks like you tried "persuade" instead.
But there are still problems with the active and passive voice here.
You have gotten the active voice correct, though you could also say something like:
"I will persuade my parents to buy me a car."
The passive voice would be something like:
"My parents will be persuaded to buy me a new car."
