Question:

Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

The clothes will be delivered by the shop on Monday.

Options:

The shop will be delivering the clothes on Monday.

The shop will deliver the clothes on Monday.

The shop would be delivering the clothes on Monday.

The shop would deliver the clothes on Monday.

Correct Answer:

The shop will deliver the clothes on Monday.

Explanation:

The correct active form of the given sentence "The clothes will be delivered by the shop on Monday" is The shop will deliver the clothes on Monday.

The passive voice of the sentence is "The clothes will be delivered by the shop on Monday." This sentence is in the future tense, which is used to describe an action that will happen in the future. The passive voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the active sentence after the verb "to be" and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the subject of the active sentence is "clothes" and the main verb is "deliver." The past participle of "deliver" is "delivered." So, the passive form of the sentence is "The clothes will be delivered by the shop on Monday."

The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the passive sentence before the verb and removing the word "by." In this case, the subject of the passive sentence is "shop," and the verb is "deliver." So, the active form of the sentence is "The shop will deliver the clothes on Monday."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The shop will be delivering the clothes on Monday." This sentence is in the future progressive tense, which is used to describe an action that is happening now but is not finished. However, the action of delivering the clothes will happen in the future.
  • The shop would be delivering the clothes on Monday." This sentence is in the past conditional tense, which is used to describe an action that would have happened in the past if something else had happened. However, there is no other action mentioned in the sentence.
  • The shop would deliver the clothes on Monday." This sentence is in the past conditional tense, but the verb is in the simple present tense. The verb should be in the past tense to match the tense of the rest of the sentence.
