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.
Grandmother is knitting a sweater for you.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A sweater is being knit by grandmother for you.
Active voice- Subject + is/am/are + V4 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + is/am/are + being+ V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- 'A sweater' answers 'what' and hence is the object of the active voice which changes into the subject of the passive voice.
- 'Knit' is the main verb which changes into its third form i.e. 'knit'.
As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
