Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

She will present the paper next week.

Options:

The paper could be presented next week by her.

The paper will be presented next week by her.

The paper would be presented next week by her.

The paper can be presented next week by her.

Correct Answer:

The paper will be presented next week by her.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the given sentence "She will present the paper next week" is The paper will be presented next week by her.

The active voice of the sentence is "She will present the paper next week." This sentence is in the simple future tense, which is used to describe an action that will happen in the future. The passive voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the active sentence after the verb "to be" and the future participle of the main verb. In this case, the subject of the active sentence is "paper" and the main verb is "present." The future participle of "present" is "presented." So, the passive form of the sentence is "The paper will be presented next week by her."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The paper could be presented next week by her." This sentence is in the modal mood, which is used to express a possibility or a hypothetical situation. However, the situation in the sentence is not hypothetical.
  • The paper would be presented next week by her." This sentence is in the past subjunctive mood, which is used to express a wish, a possibility, or a condition that is not real. However, the situation in the sentence is not hypothetical.
  • The paper can be presented next week by her." This sentence is in the present modal mood, which is used to express a possibility or a permission. However, the sentence does not express a possibility or a permission.
