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

English
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]2 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! :)

I need your opinion on if this sounds right for example in an essay on the importance of believing in yourself.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

It sounds right.

Explanation:

I just have a few tweaks, try this instead,

I strongly believe that believing in yourself is something very significant in life. If you believe in yourself, you will feel very empowered about yourself and most definitely confident. It not only helps your mind but your body as well. If you don't believe in yourself, the result is quite the opposite. You will feel bad about every situation you are appointed to and your mind will never get to try new things because of not believing you didn't give it a chance. I truly believe that it is dominant to believe in yourself every time that you can and tell yourself that you are capable.
