Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Choose the correct change of voice: 'They are painting the house.'
Step 1: Identify the subject of the active sentence. In this case, the subject is 'They'.
Step 2: Identify the verb in the active sentence. Here, the verb is 'are painting'.
Step 3: Identify the object of the active sentence. The object is 'the house'.
Step 4: In passive voice, the object becomes the subject. So, 'the house' will be the new subject.
Step 5: Change the verb to the passive form. 'Are painting' changes to 'is being painted'.
Step 6: Add 'by' followed by the original subject. So, we add 'by them'.
Step 7: Combine everything to form the passive voice sentence: 'The house is being painted by them.'
