Zorluk: OrtaActive and Passive Voice Transformation

Complete the passive version of the active sentence below by writing the correct passive verb phrase in the blank provided.

Cevap:Active sentence: The audit committee is currently examining the quarterly financial statements.
Passive sentence: The quarterly financial statements 【are currently being examined】 by the audit committee.

Cevap

are currently being examined
The active sentence uses the present continuous tense ('is currently examining') with a plural direct object ('quarterly financial statements'). In the passive form, the plural noun phrase becomes the subject, requiring the plural continuous passive verb structure 'are currently being examined' (or 'are being examined').

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the tense and aspect of the main verb phrase in the active sentence.
The phrase 'is currently examining' uses the present continuous tense.
The auxiliary verb 'is' combined with the present participle 'examining' indicates an ongoing action in the present.
2
Identify the object of the active sentence and convert it to the subject of the passive sentence.
The active object 'the quarterly financial statements' becomes the subject of the passive construction.
In passive transformations, the direct object takes the subject position.
3
Form the present continuous passive verb structure matching the new plural subject.
Plural subject 'statements' requires plural auxiliary 'are' + continuous passive marker 'being' + past participle 'examined'.
Present continuous passive constructions follow the formula: [am/is/are] + being + past participle.
