Question

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
"The director should announce the results today."

A.

The results should being announced.

B.

The results should be announced today.

C.

The results should be announce today.

D.

The results should have been announced.

Correct option is B

The correct passive voice of the given sentence is (b) The results should be announced today.
Explain the rules of conversion:
· With modal auxiliaries (should, can, may, will, must), the passive structure is: Object + modal + be + past participle (V3) (+ by + agent).
· Active: Subject (The director) + modal (should) + V1 (announce) + Object (the results) + time (today).
· Passive: Object (The results) + modal (should) + be + V3 (announced) + time (today) (+ by the director).
· Often, the agent is omitted if obvious or unnecessary.
· Structure:
· Active voice: Subject + modal + V1 + object + (time).
· Passive voice: Object + modal + be + V3 + (by + subject) + (time).
· Why others are incorrect:
· (a) “should being announced” — wrong form; after a modal use be + V3.
· (c) “should be announce” — missing past participle; should be announced.
· (d) “should have been announced” — perfect passive suggests already done earlier; it changes the meaning/time.
