Changing a sentence into the passive voice when the active verb is in the simple future tense

December 12, 2012 - pdf

We make simple future tense forms by putting will / shall before the base form (infinitive) of the verb.

  • I will finish the job tomorrow.
  • She will come tomorrow.

If the sentence in the active voice consists of an object, we can change it into the passive. In the example sentences given above, the first one has an object (the job). We can convert it into the passive voice.

  • The job will be finished (by me) tomorrow.

The second sentence (She will come tomorrow) doesn’t have an object. Therefore we cannot convert it into the passive because there is nothing to become the subject of the passive verb.

The passive verb form in the simple future tense is made by putting will / shall + be before the past participle form of the verb.

Active form: will/shall + first form of the verb

Passive form: will/shall + be + past participle form of the verb
