    Short answer: Don't. They are good as they are. It would be better to think about why you would use the passive voice. For example: i) You don't know who is doing the action, ii) The action is done to you/a subject and not by you/a subject, iii) We don't want to say who is doing the action.

    This is not so easy to do as often one of the reasons we use the passive voice is that we don't know who is doing an action, which may make the active form of some sentences rather odd. I don't think you can do that without being seen. --- I don't think you can do that without someone seeing you Sometimes the children were abused by being ignored (This is a slightly strange sentence in itself) --- Sometimes the children were abused by their parents/teachers ignoring them Out professor has no tolerance for being treated disrespectfully --- Our professor has no tolerance for people treating him disrespectfully It may not be directly related to the subject being discussed. --- It may not be directly related to the subject we are discussing The minister underwent the experience of eggs being thrown at him. (I am not sure where these are from, but that is a weiiirrrrd chose of words and a sentence no native speaker would ever say. It strikes me as a non-native speaker trying to show their English off) --- The minister underwent the experience people throwing eggs at him Number six is just weird again

    We use will you in this situation most: --- Open the door, will you? --- Get my pen, will you? However, we only really use it in spoken English and is not the most common type of phrase.

    I guess you could say: The case about the article or the case caused by the article

    Without more context it is difficult, but maybe 100 degrees in temperature?

    Both are absolutely fine. I would use both to question someone's health (Maybe after they have slipped or fallen for example) Quite a lot of people in England use "Alright?" as a greeting.

    We use it in the north (Where I am from). Many people say: Breakfast >>> Lunch >>> Dinner. But, in many parts of the north we say Breakfast >>> Dinner >>> Tea.

    We would generally use 'either' as a response to someone else. For example: Paul We don't talk about money in England Xaksi: We don't in Russia either We can also say these grammatically: In Russia we don't talk about money or salary In Russia we don't talk about either money or salary https://askpaulenglish.wordpress.com/2019/07/04/both-either-neither-2/ I guess it also depends if you are discussing salary and money as one individual thing. If we view them as individual elements, we use or. But if it is one subject, we could use and In Russia we don't talk about money and salary I wouldn't use also

    In this context it kind of means the mother looks at the baby and then the baby looks back at the mother. But, I am with Jon, it is frightfully overwritten
