all the milk drunk by the cat chnge into a passive
Answers
Explanation:
The answer to this question is: “All the milk was drunk by the cat.” Of course, the premise of this answer is based on the grammatical protocol that, in order to turn an active-voice sentence into a passive-voice sentence, there has to be a reversal or switching of subject and object between these sentences. That is, whereas the subject of the active-voice sentence becomes the object of the passive-voice sentence, the object of the passive-voice sentence on the other hand, becomes the subject of the active-voice sentence. As it is, in order to get a clear understanding of these types of sentence structure, look carefully at the following illustrative examples.
SENTENCE: ACTIVE VOICE.
The cat drank all the milk.
ANALYSIS:
THE CAT = OBJECT.
DRANK = VERB (PAST TENSE).
ALL THE MILK =OBJECT
SENTENCE: PASSIVE VOICE.
All the milk was drunk by the cat.
ANALYSIS:
ALL THE MILK = SUBJECT.
WAS DRUNK = VERB (DRUNK = PAST PARTICIPLE).
BY THE CAT = PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE.
BY = PREPOSITION (INTRODUCING THE PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE: BY THE CAT).
THE CAT = OBJECT OF THE PREPOSITION “BY.”
NOTE:
The active-voice subject “the cat” becomes the passive object of the preposition “by.”
The active-voice object “all the milk” becomes the passive-voice subject.
The preposition “by” is the grammatical marker or indicator of the passive voice.
Whereas the passive-voice “all the milk” becomes the subject, the active-voice subject becomes, not the object of the verb “was drunk, but the object of the preposition “by” in the prepositional phrase “by the cat.”
Look at the typical active-voice sentence that is turned into the typical passive-voice sentence.
EXAMPLES.
ACTIVE VOICE:
Charles Dickens wrote the novel “A TALE OF TWO CITIES.”
NOTE:
CHARLES DICKENS = SUBJECT.
WROTE = VERB (PAST TENSE).
A TALE OF TWO CITIES = OBJECT.
PASSIVE VOICE:
“A TALE OF TWO CITIES” was written by Charles Dickens
The novel ‘A TALE OF TWO CITIES” was written by Charles Dickens.
NOTE:
A TALE OF TWO CITIES = SUBJECT.
WAS WRITTEN = VERB (WRITTEN = PAST PARTICIPLE).
BY CHARLES DICKENS = PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE.
CHARLES DICKENS = OBJECT (OF THE PREPOSITION “TO”).
In sum, whereas the “object “ of the active-voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive-voice sentence, the object of the active-voice sentence is really the object of the preposition.
