how can you work out the problem change in to passive
Answers
Answer:
Active voice: “Can you solve this?”
Passive voice: “Can this problem be solved by you?”
How have I changed the voice?
This(“Can you solve this?”) is the interrogative sentence. There is a simple process to change the voice of an interrogative sentence.
At first you have to change the interrogative sentence to the assertive/declarative form.
Interrogative form: “Can you solve this?”
Assertive form: “You can solve this.”
Now change the voice of this assertive formed sentence. So,
the object(this) is placed as the subject and the subject(You) is placed to the object.
While changing the subject into the object, you have not to change the “you” like, I-me, He- him, She- her, They- them etc because, “you- “you”. and there comes a “by”(exception- to, with, etc.) before the object(converted subject). So, here the “you” is changed into “by you”.
There comes a be-verb(looking at the tense and the number of the subject of the sentence.), before the main verb(“solve”) and here the be-verb is “be”. And remember that the “verb” is converted in it’s third form(“solve”-”solved”).
Now, looking at the upper rules, we can convert it into passive voice, i.e-
“This can be solved by you.”
The time has come for the sentence to be converted into interrogative again(Don’t forget that we have converted it into assertive). So, let’s convert it into interrogative form, i.e-
“Can this be solved by you?”
(the “can” is gone to the front as per the grammar rules for an interrogative sentence)
And it is the real answer in the passive voice.
I hope the answer is helpful to you!
