Answer as written by the student:
The correct answer is (a) The report will be signed by the manager tomorrow.
Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
- To rewrite the sentence in passive voice, we need to change the order and the form of the subject and the object of the sentence. We also need to use the verb “to be” and the past participle of the main verb. 📝
- The subject of the sentence is the manager, who is the doer of the action. The object of the sentence is the report, who is the receiver of the action. The main verb of the sentence is sign, which is in the future tense. 🙋♂️📄🖋️
- To change the order of the subject and the object, we need to put the object before the verb and the subject after the verb. We also need to add the preposition “by” before the subject to show the agent of the action. 🔄
- To change the form of the subject and the object, we need to make the object the new subject of the sentence and the subject the new object of the sentence. We also need to make sure that the new subject agrees with the verb in number and person. 🛠️
- To use the verb “to be” and the past participle of the main verb, we need to conjugate the verb “to be” according to the tense and the number of the new subject. We also need to add the past participle of the main verb after the verb “to be”. The past participle of the verb “sign” is “signed”. 🌟
- Therefore, the sentence in passive voice is: The report will be signed by the manager tomorrow. 🎉
