SSC CGL - 19 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q12

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
The school will hire new teachers.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. New teachers will be hired by the school.

In passive voice, the object of the active sentence ('new teachers') becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

The verb 'will hire' is changed to 'will be hired' to maintain the future tense in the passive voice.

'The school' is placed in the optional 'by' phrase.

The correct structure in passive voice is:-  Subject (New teachers) + Auxiliary Verb ('will be') + Past Participle (hired) + Agent (by the school).
