How would we write the sentence "Rachel has cleaned the house several times" in the passive voice?

Correct Answer
The house has been cleaned several times. (by Rachel)

Explanation
The sentence "Rachel has cleaned the house several times" is written in the active voice, with Rachel as the subject performing the action of cleaning the house. To convert it into the passive voice, the object (the house) becomes the subject, and the verb is changed to its passive form. The sentence "The house has been cleaned several times" is in the passive voice, indicating that the house has been cleaned by someone (in this case, Rachel).

All verbs can be used to write sentences in the passive voice.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
While many verbs can be used in the passive voice, not all verbs can be used in this way. Some verbs, such as "believe," "like," or "want," do not have a passive form. The passive voice is formed by using a form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb. So, it is not true that all verbs can be used to write sentences in the passive voice.

We can use passive voice to
- A.
  
  Express why the action is performed.
- B.
  
  Express who or what does the action.
- C.
  
  Express what received the action, regarledd of who did it.
Correct Answer
C. Express what received the action, regarledd of who did it.

Explanation
Passive voice is used to express what received the action, regardless of who performed it. In passive voice, the focus is on the object or receiver of the action rather than the subject or doer of the action. This allows for a more objective or general statement, without specifying the agent or person responsible for the action.
