Change the following from active to passive:
The nurse will give you the injection.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. You will be given the injection by the nurse.
Grammatical Concept/Meaning:
-
Active Structure: Subject (The nurse) + will + V1 (give) + Indirect Object (you) + Direct Object (the injection).
-
Passive Structure: Subject (You) + will + be + V3 (given) + Direct Object (the injection) + by + Agent (the nurse).
-
Tense Rule: In the Future Simple tense, "will + verb" changes to "will be + past participle" in the passive voice.
Correction/Reasoning:
-
You: The indirect object "you" is moved to the subject position.
-
Will be given: The auxiliary verb "will" is followed by "be" and the past participle of "give," which is "given."
-
By the nurse: The original subject is placed at the end of the sentence following the preposition "by" to indicate the agent of the action.
Final Sentence: You will be given the injection by the nurse.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
