Back to paper

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

I will finish this book in a month.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. This book will be finished by me in a month.

  • Move the object of the active sentence to the beginning of the passive sentence, making it the new subject.

  • Object (this book) becomes the new subject: "This book"

  • Keep the original verb (will finish), but change it to its passive form. To form the passive verb, you typically use a form of "be" (e.g., is, am, are, was, were) followed by the past participle of the main verb (in this case, "finished").

  • "will finish" becomes "will be finished''.

  • If the original sentence contains a subject (I), you can include it in the passive sentence using "by" to show who or what performed the action, "by me"

  • Keep the rest of the sentence structure unchanged.

Putting it all together, the passive sentence is;

This book will be finished by me in a month.
