"The manager will approve the application."
Converting Active to Passive Voice: Future Simple
This question requires converting an active voice sentence into its passive form. The sentence provided is: "The manager will approve the application." We need to find the correct passive equivalent.
Understanding Active and Passive Voice
Active Voice: The subject performs the action. The structure is typically Subject + Verb + Object.
Passive Voice: The subject receives the action. The structure changes, focusing on the object of the active sentence. The typical structure is Object + Auxiliary Verb + Past Participle + (by + Subject).
Analyzing the Active Sentence
The sentence "The manager will approve the application" is in the Future Simple Tense.
- Subject: The manager
- Verb Phrase: will approve
- Object: the application
Steps to Form the Future Simple Passive Voice
To convert a sentence from active to passive voice in the Future Simple Tense, follow these steps:
- The object of the active sentence ("the application") becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
- Add the auxiliary verb phrase "will be".
- Use the past participle of the main verb. The verb is "approve", and its past participle is "approved".
- Optionally, add "by" followed by the subject of the active sentence ("the manager").
Applying these steps, the passive sentence is formed as: Object + will be + Past Participle + (by + Subject).
This results in: "The application will be approved by the manager."
Evaluating the Given Options
Let's examine each option to see which one correctly follows the passive voice transformation rules for the Future Simple Tense:
- Option 1: The application has been approved. This sentence is in the Present Perfect Passive tense. The original sentence is Future Simple, so this is incorrect.
- Option 2: The application will be approved by the manager. This perfectly matches the structure derived from the rules for the Future Simple Passive voice (Object + will be + Past Participle + by + Subject).
- Option 3: The application was being approved. This sentence is in the Past Continuous Passive tense. It does not match the Future Simple tense of the original sentence.
- Option 4: The application is approved by the manager. This sentence is in the Present Simple Passive tense. The original sentence uses "will", indicating future action, not present.
Based on the analysis, Option 2 is the only one that correctly transforms the active Future Simple sentence into the passive Future Simple voice.
