Active: The criminal was shot as he fled the scene.

Passive: Every time I think I'm in a stable relationship I'm fled from by my partner, and somehow it still surprises me.

Well done, Jasmine.

Jocelyn, I think your grammar is correct, but "l'm fled from by my partner" sounds a little awkward to me.
