Understanding how to transform sentences between active and passive voice is a fundamental skill in English grammar. The question asks us to convert a sentence from passive voice to active voice.

Identifying the Passive Voice Sentence

The given sentence is: "Hopefully, the match will be won by our team."

We can identify this as a passive voice sentence because:

• The subject of the sentence, "the match," is receiving the action, not performing it.
• The verb phrase "will be won" follows the structure of passive voice (form of 'to be' + past participle).
• The agent or doer of the action, "our team," is introduced by the preposition "by."

Converting Passive Voice to Active Voice

To convert a passive voice sentence into an active voice sentence, we need to identify the agent (the doer of the action) and make it the new subject. The original subject (the receiver of the action) becomes the new object. The verb form must be changed from passive to the corresponding active form, ensuring the tense remains the same.

Let's break down the transformation for our sentence:

• Original Passive Sentence: Hopefully, the match will be won by our team.
• Passive Subject: the match
• Passive Verb: will be won (Future Simple Passive)
• Agent (Doer): our team (introduced by 'by')
• Adverb: Hopefully

Now, let's apply the active voice transformation:

• The agent ("our team") becomes the new subject.
• The passive verb "will be won" (Future Simple Passive) needs to be converted to the Future Simple Active form. The Future Simple Active structure is Subject + will + base form of the verb. The base form of "won" (past participle of win) is "win". So, the active verb is "will win".
• The original passive subject ("the match") becomes the new object.
• The adverb "Hopefully" remains in its position.

Putting it together, the active voice sentence is: Hopefully, our team will win the match.

Evaluating the Options

Let's compare our derived active sentence with the given options:

1. Hopefully, our team will have win the match.

   This option uses "will have win". The future perfect active form is "will have won". "will have win" is grammatically incorrect.

2. Hopefully, our team will win the match.

   This option uses "will win". This is the correct Future Simple Active form of the verb "win". The subject is "our team", and the object is "the match". This sentence matches our derived active sentence.

3. Hopefully, our team will be winning the match.

   This option uses "will be winning". This is the Future Continuous Active tense. The original sentence uses the Future Simple Passive ("will be won"), so the corresponding active sentence should use the Future Simple Active ("will win") to maintain the same tense/aspect.

4. Hopefully, our team will be win the match.

   This option uses "will be win". This is grammatically incorrect. The Future Simple Active is "will win".

Based on the transformation rules and evaluation, Option 2 correctly expresses the given sentence in active voice while maintaining the tense and meaning.

Additional Information: Voice Transformation

Converting sentences between active and passive voice is important for varying sentence structure and emphasis. Active voice is generally more direct and concise, while passive voice can be useful when the action is more important than the doer, or when the doer is unknown.

• Tense Consistency: When converting from passive to active (or vice versa), it is crucial to maintain the original tense of the verb. A Future Simple Passive sentence should convert to a Future Simple Active sentence, a Past Simple Passive to a Past Simple Active, and so on.
• Identifying the Agent: Look for the phrase starting with "by" to find the doer of the action in a passive sentence. If there is no "by" phrase, the doer is unknown or irrelevant.
• Grammatical Correctness: Ensure the converted sentence is grammatically sound, with correct verb forms and subject-verb agreement in the new structure.

The ability to switch between active and passive voice allows for greater flexibility and precision in writing.
