Zorluk: ZorActive and Passive Voice Transformation

Complete the passive voice transformation of the sentence below by supplying the correct verb phrase in the blank.

Cevap:Active: The regulatory body has clamped down on unauthorized financial institutions across the country.
Passive: Unauthorized financial institutions across the country 【have been clamped down】 on by the regulatory body.

Cevap

have been clamped down
The correct response 'have been clamped down' accurately converts the active present perfect verb 'has clamped down' into its passive counterpart. Because the new subject ('Unauthorized financial institutions across the country') is plural, the auxiliary verb must be 'have', followed by the passive marker 'been', the past participle 'clamped', and the phrasal particle 'down'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the tense, verb form, and subject of the active sentence.
The active sentence uses the present perfect tense ('has clamped down') with the phrasal verb 'clamp down on'. The new subject in the passive construction is 'Unauthorized financial institutions across the country', which is plural.
Correct passive transformation requires matching the auxiliary verb to the new plural subject while maintaining the present perfect aspect.
2
Apply the present perfect passive structure to the plural subject.
Present perfect passive structure = have/has + been + past participle. For a plural subject ('institutions'), 'have been clamped' is required.
Singular agreement ('has been') would create a subject-verb agreement error with the plural subject.
3
Retain the particle of the phrasal verb.
The particle 'down' must remain immediately following the past participle verb 'clamped' to preserve the phrasal verb meaning before the preposition 'on'.
Dropping the adverbial particle 'down' alters the meaning and produces a syntactic particle mismatch error.
