Zorluk: KolayActive and Passive Voice Transformation

Complete the sentence below by supplying the correct passive verb form that preserves the tense of the active sentence.

Active: The lead auditor reviewed all financial records before the annual meeting.
Passive: All financial records {{blank_1}} by the lead auditor before the annual meeting.

Cevap:All financial records 【were reviewed】 by the lead auditor before the annual meeting.

Cevap

were reviewed
The active sentence is in the simple past tense ('reviewed'). When transformed into the passive voice, the plural object 'all financial records' becomes the subject of the passive verb, requiring the plural simple past passive structure 'were reviewed'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the tense and object of the active sentence.
The active verb 'reviewed' is in the simple past tense, and its direct object is the plural noun phrase 'all financial records'.
When converting to passive voice, the original object becomes the new subject, and the tense must be strictly preserved.
2
Form the passive construction using the appropriate auxiliary verb and past participle.
The plural subject 'all financial records' combined with simple past passive yields 'were reviewed'.
The simple past passive is formed using 'was/were' + past participle. Because the new subject is plural, 'were' must be used.
