Answer:
the sale of alcohol has been banned (by the government). thanks
Answer:
‘The sale of alcohol has been banned by the government’ is a passive voice of the given sentence.
Explanation:
An active voice has the following structure- Subject + verb + Object.
The subject is placed at the beginning of the sentence followed directly by the verb. The subject actually does the work as in the given sentence- Government acts as the subject, banned is the verb and sale of alcohol is the object on which the action is being performed on.
In the passive voice the subject is placed at the end as an agent as 'by the government' in the sentence and the object ‘sale of alcohol’ is at the beginning. The active verb now becomes passive with an auxiliary verb before it. Thus ‘banned’ becomes ‘has been banned'.
