Q: Convert the following sentence to passive voice: 'The chef cooks the meal.' (2020)
Solution: In passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. Thus, 'The meal is cooked by the chef.' is correct.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence. In 'The chef cooks the meal', the subject is 'The chef', the verb is 'cooks', and the object is 'the meal'.
Step 2: Move the object of the active sentence to the front to become the subject of the passive sentence. So, 'the meal' becomes the new subject.
Step 3: Change the verb to the passive form. The verb 'cooks' changes to 'is cooked'.
Step 4: Add the original subject after the verb, using 'by'. So, 'by the chef' is added.
Step 5: Combine everything to form the passive sentence: 'The meal is cooked by the chef.'
