Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Choose the correct passive form of the following sentence from the given options.

Please come soon.

Options:

You are to come soon.

Come soon, please.

You are requested to come soon.

You request me to come.

Correct Answer:

You are requested to come soon.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → You are requested to come soon.

Here's why:

  • "You are to come soon"sounds a bit awkward and less natural in this context.
  • "Come soon, please" remains in the active voice, keeping "you" as the doer of the action.
  • "You request me to come" reverses the roles, making the speaker the one requesting, which isn't the original intention.

"You are requested to come soon" effectively changes the sentence to the passive voice, focusing on the action of coming and politely requesting it.
