Question

the government will pardon him ( change into passive voice )​

Answer 1

He will be pardoned by the government.

• The given sentence is in the active voice.
• In case of active voice, the subject directly performs an action.

So, the structure is: Subject+ verb+ object

• In case of passive voice, the subject interchanges its position with the object.

So the structure is: Object+ verb+ subject

• In the given sentence, the subject is 'the government', verb is 'will pardon' and the object is 'him'.
• On changing into the passive form, a 'by' is added before the subject to show the action being performed by it.

Answer 2

Voice Change

The government will pardon him.

Answer:

• He will be pardoned by the government.

Explanation:

• The given question is said to change into passive voice.
• The given sentence: 'The government will pardon him' is an active voice because this word has not changed.
• It is a sentence or an example of Future Indefinite Tense. 'Will / Shall' are used as auxiliary verbs of simple future tense and when the sentence changes into passive voice then will or shall turn into shall be and will be according to grammatical rules of voice change. So the structure is: Object + Auxiliary verb (Shall / will) +be + verb third form + preposition (by or with) + subject. Here in the given question object 'him' has been turned into 'he' and also subject 'the government' has been turned into object.
• Voice means word and when the word is said in different way then it is called voice change. Example: Active voice: I eat rice. Passive Voice: Rice is eaten by me.
