Select the option that is the passive form of the sentence.
The sub-committee is presenting its report in a week’s time.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is: The report of the sub-committee is being presented in a week’s time.
The sentence is in the present continuous tense, so the passive form is formed using the auxiliary verb is being and the past participle of the main verb present.
The other options are incorrect:
- The report of the sub-committee has been presented in a week’s time. This is the passive form of the present perfect tense, which is not used in the original sentence.
- The report of the sub-committee is presenting in a week’s time. This is the active form of the present continuous tense, not the passive form.
- The report of the sub-committee had been presented in a week’s time. This is the passive form of the past perfect tense, which is not used in the original sentence.
