To convert the active voice sentence "He will finish the work in a fortnight" to passive voice, we follow these steps:

  3. Change the verb form:
    • The future tense "will finish" becomes "will be finished."

  • The passive voice of the sentence is: "The work will be finished by him in a fortnight."
