Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

They will cancel the football tournament this year.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The football tournament will be cancelled this year.

  • The subject of the given sentence is 'They' and the object is 'the football tournament'.
  • In the passive, the subject of the sentence becomes the object and the object of the sentence becomes the subject.
  • The use of 'will' indicates simple future.
  • The passive verb form in the simple future tense is made by putting will / shall + be before the past participle form of the verb.
  • Hence 'will cancel' becomes 'will be cancelled'.
  • In passive voice we may omit the agent (They) becausewe don't know who they are, or it's implied or unimportant, or we'd rather not say.
