Answers
Explanation:
plants was watered ny the gardener
Answer:
The plants were watered by the gardener.
Explanation:
To convert the given sentence into the passive voice:
✧ We identify the object (recipient of the action) , subject (doer of the action) and the tense of the verb.
Object - the plants
Subject - The gardener
Verb/tense - watered : simple past
✧ The word "by" is to be placed before the subject.
✧ We add an auxiliary verb according to the tense of the verb and change the verb into its participle. Since the verb 'watered' is in the simple past tense, the auxiliary verb will be "were".
In Active voice, the subject performs the action. For example:
- My dog ate my homework.
- They play cricket everyday.
Sentence structure: Subject + verb + object .
In Passive voice, the subject is the recipient of the action.
- My homework was eaten by my dog.
- Cricket is played by them everyday.
Sentence structure: Object + [auxiliary verb + third form of the verb] + [ by +subject ].
