Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Voice conversion involves switching the grammatical focus of the sentence while keeping the tense and meaning intact.
The active sentence "The architect will renovate the dining room" uses the Simple Future Tense, indicated by the auxiliary verb "will."
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
For Simple Future Tense voice conversion:
Active: \(Subject + will + V_{1} + Object\)
Passive: \(New Subject (Object) + will + be + V_{3} + by + New Object (Subject)\)
Detailed Explanation:
Let's analyze the components:
- Subject: \(The architect\)
- Modal Verb: \(will\)
- Main Verb: \(renovate\) (\(V_{1}\))
- Object: \(the dining room\)
Transformation steps:
1. Bring the object "the dining room" to the front to act as the new subject.
2. The future marker "will" must be followed by "be" in the passive voice.
3. The main verb "renovate" must change to its past participle form (\(V_{3}\)), which is "renovated."
4. Add the phrase "by the architect" at the end to indicate the original doer.
This results in: "The dining room will be renovated by the architect."
Why other options fail:
- (A) "was being renovated" is Past Continuous passive.
- (B) "is being renovated" is Present Continuous passive.
- (C) "has been renovated" is Present Perfect passive.
Since the original sentence is about a future intention, only option (d) is correct.
Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct passive form is option (d).
