Answers
TV was being watched by them. Answer: “TV was being watched by them” is a passive voice of the given sentence
Answer:
The passive form of the given sentence is,
TV is being watched by them.
Explanation:
The given statement is,
They are watching TV.
It has been told to change the voice of the sentence from active to passive.
Active voice:
In the active voice of the SVO pattern, the subject which is doing a particular action or verb comes first.
Passive voice:
In the passive voice of the SVO pattern, the subject which comes first receives the verb or action done by the object.
Active to passive:
To change a sentence from active to passive form, just rearrange the words given.
Put the object in place of the subject and the subject in place of the object.
That is, from SVO to OVS.
Add the word 'by' as a conjunction to the object.
While converting, do not change the tense of the given sentence.
Change only the verb form according to the tense given.
Other words like adverbs, adjectives, time, place, etc. do not need to be changed.
Changing the voice:
In the given sentence,
The subject is 'They', who is doing the action.
The verb is 'are watching', which is the action done by the subject.
The object is 'TV', which is receiving the action.
Active voice:
They / are watching / TV.
S V O
Passive voice:
TV / is being watched / by them.
S V O
(TV is singular, hence the auxiliary verb 'is' is used.)
This is the passive form of the given sentence.
