the children are eating dinner active or passive
Answers
Answer:
This sentence is in Active Voice.
The sentence formation of active voice is Subject + Verb + Object
It's Passive Voice should be 'Dinner is being eaten by the children.'
The sentence formation of Passive voice is Object + Verb + Subject
Rules of Conversion of Active to Passive :-
1. The subject and object are interchanged
2. The preposition BY is added before the object
3. The verb is changed to past participle (3rd form of verb)
4. A new auxiliary is added to the Past Participle form of verb.
5. If the subject or the object in an active voice sentence is a pronoun (I, we, you, he, she, they, it) it changes: (I-me; we-us; you-you; he-him; she-her; they-them; it-it) and vice-versa. e.g. I wrote a letter – A letter was written by me. The prefect does keep accusing me daily – I am being accused by the prefect daily.
6. If the subject in the active voice sentence is unknown or unimportant or obvious, by + object is omitted. We make butter from cow’s milk. Butter is made from cow’s milk.
7. If the verb in the active voice sentence has a modal in it, the verb is changed to – modal + be + the past participle. e.g. Rajesh can lift this box. This box can be lifted by Rajesh.
8. When there are two objects, only one object is interchanged. The second object remains unchanged. (He told me a story – He- subject; me – object 1; a story – object 2) ( I was told a story by him; A story was told to me by him)
9. The tense of the sentence will not change. Eg. I bought a pen. (A pen was bought by me.)
