Question

Change the following sentence into Passive Voice: "The teacher is correcting the notebooks."

• A. The notebooks are corrected by the teacher
• B. The notebooks are being corrected by the teacher
• C. The notebooks were being corrected by the teacher
• D. The notebooks have been corrected by the teacher

Hint:

For present continuous tense, always use:
is/am/are + being + past participle (V3) in passive voice.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: In voice transformation, an active sentence is converted into passive voice by making the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence. The tense of the sentence must remain the same. For present continuous tense, the passive structure is: \[ \text{Object} + \text{is/am/are being} + \text{past participle} + \text{by Subject} \]
Step 1: Identify subject, verb, and object.
Subject: The teacher
Verb: is correcting (present continuous tense)
Object: the notebooks
Step 2: Make the object the subject.
"The notebooks" becomes the new subject.
Step 3: Convert the verb into passive form.
"Is correcting" becomes "are being corrected" (since "notebooks" is plural).
Step 4: Add the agent (doer).
Add "by the teacher" at the end. Final Sentence:
The notebooks are being corrected by the teacher.
