2.Since there is no object of verb, so there is no passive form of the sentence. correct?
another question,
3."I go home." is there any passive form of this sentence?

another question is

Hi,

There are two types of verb formation, which are called active and passive. In order to convert an active sentence to a passive one, you have to make sure that the verb is transitive - that it takes an object.
