Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

A sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested below, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice. 
 

 

We have already done the work. 

Options:

Already the work has been done by us.

 The work has already been done by us.

 The work had been already done by us.

The work is already done by us.

Correct Answer:

 The work has already been done by us.

Explanation:

The work has already been done by us.

Explanation:

  • Already the work has been done by us.: This passive construction changes the word order ("already" should be placed before "been") and doesn't accurately convey the original sentence.
  • The work has already been done by us.: This passive construction correctly maintains the original meaning and reverses the subject and object while using the appropriate verb tense.
  • The work had been already done by us.: This passive construction introduces "had been" which changes the tense from present perfect ("has already been done") to past perfect ("had been already done").
  • The work is already done by us.: This active construction changes the tense ("has been done" to "is done") and doesn't accurately convey the original sentence.
