Question

Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
"The homework is being checked by the teacher."

A.

The teacher is checking the homework.

B.

The teacher was checking the homework.

C.

The teacher checks the homework.

D.

The teacher has checked the homework.

Correct option is A

The correct active voice is “The teacher is checking the homework.”
Explain the rules of conversion (Passive → Active) with structure in detail:
· Identify Tense/Aspect: is being checked = Present Continuous Passive.
· Active structure needed: Subject + am/is/are + V1-ing + Object (Present Continuous Active).
· Swap roles: the homework (patient) ↔ the teacher (agent).
· Final form: The teacher (subject) + is + checking (V1-ing) + the homework (object).
Structure:
· Passive Voice: Object + am/is/are + being + V3 (+ by + Subject).
· Active Voice: Subject + am/is/are + V1-ing + Object.
Example:
· Passive: The documents are being verified by the officer. → Active: The officer is verifying the documents.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (b) was checking → Past Continuous, wrong tense.
· (c) checks → Simple Present (habitual), not ongoing.
· (d) has checked → Present Perfect, different aspect/meaning.
