the floor is being cleaned by me change into active
Answers
Given sentence: The floor is being cleaned by me.
Active voice: I am cleaning the floor.
- It is clear that the given sentence is in present continuous tense.
- And while changing a sentence to active voice which is in present continuous tense, it should be formed in the structure: Subject + am/is/are + verb (-ing) + object.
- According to the given sentence, the subject is "me", the object is "the floor" and the verb is "clean".
- The suitable helping verb will be "am" because the subject is me.
- And verb (-ing) → cleaning.
- The subject pronoun (me) should be changed to "I" in passive voice.
- Now, by arranging all these in the structure, we get the answer - I am cleaning the floor.
____________________________________
In a sentence, to say whether its subject performs the action or whether it receives the action, we define it with voices. There are two types of voices in English grammar.
(1) ACTIVE VOICE:
A sentence is said to be in active voice if it's subject performs the action to the object. Look at the following sentence!
In the above sentence, we can find that the subject is lion, and it does the action to the object (the deer), with the verb 'chased'. So it's in active voice as the subject does the action.
(2) PASSIVE VOICE:
A sentence is said to be in passive voice if the subject receives the action from the object. Now, let's find the passive voice of the example sentence of active voice (The lion chased the deer).
Here, the object (the deer) performs the action to the subject (the lion) or we can say that the subject receives the action.
