They expected us to built the road.​in passive voice

English
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The road was expected to be built by us.

Explanation:

First, identify the direct subject of this sentence, which is <u>they</u>. Remember to always change things in the independent clause. Then place the indirect object of the sentence at the beginning, which is <u>the road</u> in this case.

Because you can't exactly write "the road was expected to be built by us by them," completely rule out the word <u>them</u>. Now, switch things around until they make the same meaning (except wordier), and voila - you are done.  

Note: most of the time, passive voice is wordy and hard to read, so stick with active voice for other writing.

Hope this helps! :)

How does the repetition of the word singing influence the overall meaning of the poem “I Hear America Singing” by Walt Whitman?
bearhunter [10]
The repetition of the work "singing" is associated with the enumeration of who is singing: for example the carpenter, the mason and the shoemaker.

Therefore, "singing" contributes to the feeling that everyone is singing: it  provides a feeling of unity.

This singing also symbolizes hope for well-being: all those singing people have a job and a secure existence.

The correct answer is:
<span>The repetition emphasizes hope and a unified vision for America.</span>

We look forward to a weekend when we can rest. Which kind of clause are the words in bold? when we rest is in bold 
Ksivusya [100]
The clause <em>when we can rest </em>is a subordinate/dependent clause, meaning that it cannot stand on its own - it has to be a part of a larger, independent clause, as is the case here.
