Change the following from active to passive:
They will organize a farewell party for the retiring teacher.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer
A farewell party will be organized for the retiring teacher by them.
Explanation
The active voice sentence uses the simple future tense ("will organize"). To convert it to the passive voice, the object ("a farewell party") becomes the new subject, and the verb phrase changes to "will be + past participle" ("will be organized"). The original subject ("They") shifts to the end of the sentence as the agent ("by them").
Key Points
Core Definition Passive voice shifts the focus of a sentence from the performer of the action to the recipient of the action.
Grammatical Role Passive transformation of the simple future tense requires combining the auxiliary verbs "will be" with the past participle form of the main verb.
