Question

The boys are running a race. Change this sentence into passive voice.

Answer 1

ANSWER:

The sentence when it is converted into passive voice will become ‘A race is being run by the boys.’

EXPLANATION:

The subject is the one who performs the action, that is mentioned in the sentence and it is this subject that comes before the action in the sentence. This is practiced in cases where the sentence is present in active voice.  

Example: I have a good aim while shooting. (Where I is the subject and shoot is the action)

When a sentence is written in passive voice, the subject is being acted up on by the verb, so the subject must come after the action in the sentence.

Example: Shooting with concentration is something I do.
