Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Change the sentence given below into Passive Voice:

Jeevan will complete his Masters next year.

Options:

Jeevan will be completing his Masters next year.

Jeevan's Masters must be completed next year.

Masters will be completed next year.

Masters will be completed by Jeevan next year.

Correct Answer:

Masters will be completed by Jeevan next year.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Masters will be completed by Jeevan next year.

Here's why:

  • Subject change: In the original sentence, "Jeevan" is the subject who performs the action ("complete"). In the passive voice, the subject becomes the object of the preposition "by," and the action ("completing") becomes the main verb.
  • Verb tense: The original sentence uses future tense ("will complete"). In the passive voice, the verb tense usually remains the same. Therefore, "will be completed" is the appropriate choice.
  • Auxiliary verb: The passive voice requires an auxiliary verb "be" combined with the past participle of the main verb ("completed").

Therefore, option (4) accurately reflects the passive voice structure with the correct subject, verb tense, and auxiliary verb. The other options are incorrect because:

  • Option 1: Uses the present continuous tense ("be completing") instead of future tense.
  • Option 2: Changes the meaning completely, suggesting an obligation instead of an action.
  • Option 3: Misses the subject entirely and focuses only on the action.
