Turn from Active to Passive

English

liraira [26]2 years ago

The passive voice is constructed by placing the normal subject of a sentence at the end making it the agent of a passive voice sentence, at the same time the object of the sentence becomes the new subject of the sentence. The agent still performs the action of the verb, but the verbal structure is placed before the agent to stress the importance of the action over the agent who executes the action. Example:

Active sentence example: subject + <u>verb +</u><em>object</em>

I <u>eat</u> <em>pizza </em>every day.

passive sentence conversion:  <em>object </em>+ <u>verb</u> + agent

<em>Pizza </em><u>was eaten</u> by me.

sometimes the agent is not even present in the passive voice because it is not that important.

Now that we know how to make it, let's change these sentences from active to passive:

Somebody help me with these questions.......
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

A. She can speak Japanese.

B. Did I not see anybody in the park?

C. I have submitted my assignment.

Explanation:

When a question begins with an auxiliary verb, it can be converted into a statement by moving the auxiliary verb in front of the main verb. This is how the first question will become a statement:

  • Can she speak Japanese? - She can speak Japanese.

Interrogative sentences are sentences that ask a question. The given negative sentence can be turned into an interrogative one by placing the auxiliary verb <em>did </em>at the beginning of the sentence.

  • I did not see anybody in the park. - Did I not see anybody in the park?

To turn a negative sentence into an affirmative one, we need to remove the negation <em>not</em>. The adverb <em>yet </em>should be removed as well because it's not used in affirmative sentences such as this one.

  • I haven't submitted my assignment yet. - I have submitted my assignment.
