Question

Correct this sentence in passive voice to active voice

The late-arriving cashier was scolded by the manager.


I need help plis :(

Answer 1

Passive voice order:

• Object
• Verb
• Subject

Active voice order:

• Subject
• Verb
• Object

So our object is the "Late-arriving Cashier"

Our verb, "was scolded"

Our subject, "The manager".

If this were a math equation it would look like:

PV = Object + Verb + Subject

AV = Subject + Verb + Object

Now as stated earlier we know:

Subject = "The Manager"

Verb = "Scolded"

Object = "Late arriving Cashier"

Substitute:

AV = Subject + Verb + Object

AV = The manager + scolded + late arriving cashier

Now make it a sentence:

The Manager scolded the late arriving cashier.

There you have it, "The late-arriving cashier was scolded by the manager." written in passive voice changed to active voice is "The Manager scolded the late arriving cashier.".

Hope this helps!
