The ground was being dug by the hermit
Explanation:
- While converting a sentence in the active voice to the passive voice:
- The object becomes the subject in the passive voice.
- The tense of the verb ‘to be’ should be maintained the same as it is in the active voice.
- The verb in the active voice sentence is changed to its past participle form in the passive sentence.
- While changing a verb in the present continuous form in the active voice to the passive voice, the general format is:
Active voice: Subject + to be (is/are/am) + -ing form of a verb + object
Passive voice: Object + to be (is/are/am) + being + past participle verb form + subject
The verb ‘digging’ in the given sentence is in the present continuous form which denotes an action is still ongoing. To maintain the present continuous form of a tense, the verb ‘digging’ is changed to ‘being dug’ in the passive form.
