Question

Change the following from active to passive:

They are watching the match live.

The correct answer is

The match is being watched live.

The active sentence is in the present continuous tense (are watching). Its passive form is: object + is/am/are + being + past participle.

The object "the match" becomes the subject, the verb becomes "is being watched", and the vague agent "by them" is dropped: "The match is being watched live."

"Is watched" is simple present, "has been watched" is present perfect and "was being watched" is past continuous, so none of them keeps the original tense.

Hence, the passive form is "The match is being watched live."
