Key Points
- In the given sentence, the passive voice is used, which needs to be converted into the active voice.
- The subject of the passive sentence 'the cook' becomes the subject of the active sentence.
- The object of the passive sentence 'the meal' becomes the object of the active sentence.
- The verb tense "will have been made ready" is converted to "will have made ready" in the active voice.
- Format of active voice : Subject + main verb ( here future perfect tense) + Object
Hence, the correct active format is 'The cook will have made the meal ready by the time you reach the guest house.'
Additional Information
- The passive voice is used to emphasize the action rather than the subject, while the active voice emphasizes the subject performing the action.
- In general, the active voice is more direct and vigorous than the passive voice.
- Converting sentences from passive to active voice often makes the sentence clearer and more concise.
- Example: The letter was written by John (passive)
John wrote the letter (active).
