Change the sentence given below into Passive Voice:
Jeevan will complete his Masters next year.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → His Masters will be completed by Jeevan next year.
Active to passive (simple future):
| Change | Active | Passive | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Object becomes subject | his Masters | His Masters | The object “his Masters” becomes the subject. |
| Tense kept | will complete | will be completed | The simple future stays. Simple future passive = will be + past participle: “will be completed”. |
| Agent (by ...) | Jeevan | by Jeevan | The subject Jeevan becomes the agent by Jeevan. He is named, so the agent is kept. |
| Full sentence | Jeevan will complete his Masters next year. | His Masters will be completed by Jeevan next year. |
The time phrase "next year" stays as it is.
Example: Riya will paint the wall. → The wall will be painted by Riya.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Jeevan will be completing his Masters next year. — Incorrect. It is still in the active voice. Only the tense has changed to the future continuous.
Option 2: Jeevan's Masters must be completed next year. — Incorrect. "Must" adds necessity, which is not in the active sentence, and the agent is dropped.
Option 3: Masters will be completed next year. — Incorrect. The doer, by Jeevan, is left out although he is named, and "his" is dropped, so the sentence no longer says whose Masters.
