What, you don’t like “The stu­dents will go down­town for lunch” be­com­ing “Down­town will be gone to by the stu­dents for lunch” much, eh? :-) Be­cause such abom­i­na­tions do crop up from not-na­tive speak­ers from time to time, I sus­pect no­body ever let them in on the joke in the first place.

And then to the asker:

You can't ever do pas­sive in­ver­sion on in­tran­si­tive verbs, in­clud­ing both yours and mine. If what I wrote sounds right to you, some­body has trained you wrong be­cause it’s com­pletely un­gram­mat­i­cal in English. You must have a ­tran­si­tive verb with a di­rect ob­ject to use pas­sive in­ver­sion on so that you can in­vert sub­ject and ob­ject. In­tran­si­tive verbs lack an ob­ject to use for the sub­ject.

Also, home­work is a mass noun not a count noun, so you can never say *a home­work.

According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary: assemble transitive verbto bring together (as in a particular place or for a particular purpose)They assembled a team of experts to solve the problem.So, the passive sentence is:'The students will be assembled in the hall.'As about the logical subject, it is omitted here.

You are correct,

The hall will be assembled by the students.

indicates that the students are building or constructing the hall in some way.

L.a. noire google drive. Your second suggestion,

The hall will be assembled in by the students.

is technically correct but sounds quite strange to me. I'm not sure what you need this for, but you might consider substituting a synonym for 'assembled.' It might sound more natural as something like

The hall will be filled by the students.

The hall will be the location of the student assembly.

Change A Selected Paragraph To Passive Voice

With the passive voice, the subject of a sentence is being acted upon, rather than doing the action. The verb in the sentence is acting on the subject, with the subject appearing after the action in the sentence. This results in a sentence that sounds awkward and bland, poor qualities when you are trying to craft a persuasive essay, an engaging article, or an effective oral presentation.^[1][2]

• For example, a sentence in the passive voice would be: “The milkbone was chewed by the dog” or “The basketball was thrown by Sara.” In the first sentence, the milkbone is being acted on by the dog and in the second sentence, the basketball is being acted on by Sara. This create a bland sentence, as the subject is not doing the action in the sentence.
• Another example would be: “The bicycle wheels were destroyed by the storm” or “My papers were written on a computer.” In the first sentence, the bicycle wheels are being acted on by the storm and in the second sentence, the papers are being acted on by the computer.
