Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Choose the suitable option that expresses the given Active Voice sentence in the Passive Voice.

The Teacher corrects our notebook.

Options:

Our notebook is corrected by the teacher.

Our notebook was corrected by the teacher.

Our notebook had been corrected by the teacher.

Our notebook is being corrected by the teacher.

Correct Answer:

Our notebook is corrected by the teacher.

Explanation:
The most suitable option to express the Active Voice sentence "The Teacher corrects our notebook" in the Passive Voice is: Our notebook is corrected by the teacher.

Here's why:

  • Original Sentence: In the Active Voice sentence, the subject is "The Teacher" and the object is "our notebook."
  • Passive Voice Transformation: When converting to Passive Voice, the object becomes the subject, and the subject is introduced by the preposition "by." The tense of the auxiliary verb "be" should also reflect the original tense ("corrects" is present tense).
  • Correct Option: Therefore, "Our notebook is corrected by the teacher" accurately maintains the meaning of the original sentence with the object ("notebook") as the new subject and the preposition "by" introducing the agent ("teacher").
