Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence:
They were discussing the new plan.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The original sentence, 'They were discussing the new plan,' is in the past continuous tense (active voice). To transform a past continuous active sentence into the passive voice, the correct structure is 'was/were + being + past participle of the verb'.
The subject of the active sentence ('They') becomes the object of the passive sentence.
The object of the active sentence ('The new plan') becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
