The supervisor announced the new work schedule. << this is ACTIVE right?

Yes, exactly.

Now complete the sentence to make it passive:

The new schedule is now complete.

I did not do so well on this test Sad .. But passed the class with a B. (I wanted an A) I have Bus. Com. II next semester and I know that it will be even more difficult. Will you help me with the ones I got wrong? I hope that I am not asking too much.

Yes, that was meant for you. Generally, it's best to try to use the active voice when you can, as you seem to have picked up.

Congrats on your B - that's not too shabby after being out of school for so long.

I do not know what happened to my post from earlier. The new schedule was announced by the supervisor. I did not do well on either my assignment or my test. (Parallel??) Honestly. I finished out with an 83. I bombed on this assignment. I have Bus Com II to look forward to next semester and if I cannot fathom getting through it if I cannot get this down completely. Can you help me on some of the answer that I got wrong? Please if it is an imposition I will understand.

It's what the forum is for! Of course you can post your questions here. You will probably want to use the section on business writing, and not grammar. See you there!
