Answer:
The drain is being cleaned by somebody.
Explanation:
To convert the sentence given into the passive voice:
★ We identify the object (the drain), the subject (somebody) and the tense of the verb (present continuous).
★ While converting, the tense should never be changed. The passive voice of an active voice sentence will always have its tense the same as the other.
★ We place the word "by" before the subject.
★ We add an auxiliary verb according to the tense of the verb and change the verb into its third form (participle). And we are done :D
Active and passive voice
To convey the meaning of a sentence, we use the Active voice or the passive voice.
Active voice is focused on the subject of the sentence. Let's have a look at this sentence:
- Millie has to practice the ritual every year.
Passive voice is focused on the object of the sentence. Now, observe this sentence:
- The ritual has to be practiced by Millie every year.
✦ In the first sentence, the subject performs the action. In the second, the subject receives the action.
✦ We can say that the sentence structure of an active voice sentence is : Subject + verb + object .
✦ And that of a passive voice sentence is: Object + auxiliary verb (according to the tense) + past participle of the verb + [ by +subject ].
