Answer:

The given sentence is in active voice. And its passive voice would be-

The rooms were being cleaned by them.

Explanation:

  • Active voice and passive voice are the two forms of voices which denote the grammatical constructions that communicate certain information about an action/incident.
  • Active voice can help ensure clarity by making it clear to the reader who is taking/performing an action in the sentence.
  • Also, the active voice stresses that the grammatical subject precedes the verb, again, emphasizing the subject.
  • Passive voice construction leaves out the grammatical subject and focuses on the relationship between the verb and object.
  • The order of words in a sentence with active voice is subject, verb, and object.
  • The sentence "They were cleaning the rooms." is in the active voice where the verb expresses the action of the subject upon an object.
  • Thus to convert it into passive voice, the order will be: [Object + Helping Verb + Verb 3rd Form +By+ Subject]
  • The object 'rooms' should be written before the subject 'them'. The tense used is past progressive.
  • The basic rule is- Active voice: Subject + was//were + Verb 1 + ing + Object
  • The Passive Voice- [Object + was/were + being + Verb 3+ by + Subject]

Therefore, the passive voice for the same sentence would be-

The rooms were being cleaned by them.
