In the following question, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice.
She needs to clean the floor right now.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The floor needs to be cleaned by her right now.
Active voice- Subject + V1/V5 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + Is/Am/Are + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'. Since 'the floor' answers 'what', it is the object here.
- The action on the object is considered the main verb. So, 'clean' is the main verb here.
- When the subject is not mentioned, 'to be V3' is used.
As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
