In the first sentence, use the verb in the active voice; in the second sentence, use it in the passive voice.

Active: I will find the answer.

Passive: The answer; I will find.

krisla, you have confused the passive voice with the simple past tense.

Swood, you have confused the passive voice with the word order (and have a punctuation error).

Here is an example:

I found a ball in the garden.
A ball was found in the garden.
