Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice. It is said that this is the oldest temple in the region.
This is said to be the oldest temple in the region.
Key Points
- The given sentence is in the Present Indefinite Tense.
- The rule for changing a Present Indefinite Tense from Passive voice to Active voice.
- Interchange the object and subject with each other, i.e. object of the passive sentence becomes the subject of the active sentence.
- 'It' is the subject and "this is the oldest temple in the region." is the object.
- Here in this sentence the part "It is said that this is" will be changed into "This is said to be". "This" is the subject.
- Use of the expression "to be": In the active voice, the verb "is" is used in combination with the infinitive "to be" to express the state or attribute of the subject.
Important Points
- Remember, both of these sentences are in passive voice, it's just two different ways to express the information passively. Typical passive-to-active voice conversion changes the subject-object relationship: e.g., "The mouse (subject) was chased by the cat (object)" vs. "The cat (subject) chased the mouse (now the object)".
