This application transforms the active form into passive and the passive form into active.

A verb is said to be active when the action is performed by the subject.

eat = active verb, as there is an action of Luigi who takes the apple and eats it.

A verb is said to be passive when the action is not performed by the subject but is suffered by the subject.
