Question

Change the voice :
The peon was ringing the bell​

Answer 1

Answer:

The bell was being rung by the peon.

Answer 2

Answer :

$\sf\pink{ The\: bell \:was \:being\: rung \:by \:the\: peon.}$

The three major things to be kept in mind while changing the voice of some sentence are :

$\sf\purple{ 1. Identify \:the\: places\: of \:subject\: and\: object \:and \:interchange\: them.}$

In the given sentence subject is the peon and the object is the bell.

So , if we observe carefully we have brought the the object towards the starting of the sentence which is double in the place of subject and took the subject the given to the place of object which is at the rear of the sentence.

$\sf\pink{ 2. Add \:the\: preposition \:by\: before \:the\: object.}$

Here before the subject of peon (in the passive voice sentence) we have added the preposition by.

$\sf\orange{ 3. Do \:not\: change\: the\: tense\: of \:the\: sentence.}$

Here though we have used the words was and rung the sense of past continuous tense is still kept by the word being.
