Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure:
The invitation will have been sent by the secretary before noon.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer
The secretary will have sent the invitation before noon.
Explanation
The given sentence is in the Future Perfect tense in passive voice (will have been sent). To convert it into active voice, the performer of the action (the secretary) becomes the subject, and the receiver (the invitation) becomes the object. The passive structure "will have been + V3" must be changed back into its active form, which is "will have + V3".
Key Points
Passive: Subject + will have been + V3 + by Agent
Active: Agent + will have + V3 + Object
Rule: Maintain the exact tense structure. Avoid options changing it into simple present (sends), present perfect (has sent), or future continuous (will be sending).
