Change the following sentences into passive voice (Include the doer): He can cut out the picture.
Correct Answer
The picture can be cut out by him.Explanation
The given answer correctly transforms the active sentence "He can cut out the picture" into the passive voice. In the passive voice, the subject of the active sentence ("He") becomes the doer, and the object of the active sentence ("the picture") becomes the subject. The verb "can cut out" is changed to "can be cut out" to maintain the same tense. The phrase "by him" is added to indicate the doer of the action. Therefore, the passive sentence "The picture can be cut out by him" accurately reflects the original sentence in the passive voice.Rate this question:

Therefore, the correct passive voice sentence with the doer included is "I was told a lie by her."Rate this question:
