Change the following from active to passive:

We are going to start the project soon.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The project is going to be started soon.

About the given sentence:

  • Type of sentence: Assertive (Future plan using 'going to')

  • Tense: Present Continuous (indicating a future intention)

  • Given voice: Active

  • Subject: We

  • Verb: are going to start

  • Object: the project

Structure for conversion:

  • Active: Subject + am/is/are + going to + verb (base form) + object.

  • Passive: Object + am/is/are + going to be + past participle (V3) + (by + subject).

Conversion steps:

  1. The object of the active sentence (the project) becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

  2. The auxiliary verb 'is' is used to match the singular subject 'the project.'

  3. The phrase 'going to' is followed by 'be' and the past participle of 'start,' which is 'started.'

  4. The time adverb 'soon' remains at the end of the sentence.

Converted sentence: The project is going to be started soon.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
