Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
All international and domestic flights have been cancelled by the government due to the Corona crisis.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The government has cancelled all international and domestic flights due to the Corona crisis.
- In the active voice, the agent (doer) comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object (receiver).
- The passive verb phrase "have been cancelled" changes to the active form "has cancelled."
- The verb "cancelled" remains in the past participle form, but the auxiliary verbs "have been" changed to "has" in the active form to match the subject "the government."
- Place the object "all international and domestic flights" after the verb.
-
"due to the Corona crisis," remains unchanged and is placed at the end of the sentence.
-
Therefore the correct active sentence will be "The government has cancelled all international and domestic flights due to the Corona crisis."
