Choose the correct active voice and mark your answer in the response sheet.
The lesson was explained by the teacher clearly.
Answer: C
The active voice is The teacher explained the lesson clearly.
In the passive sentence, the lesson is the subject and the teacher the agent, and the verb was explained is in the simple past. In the active voice the agent becomes the subject, the subject becomes the object, and the tense stays the same: explained.
The teacher is explaining the lesson clearly is active but changes the tense to the present continuous. The lesson has been explained clearly by the teacher and The lesson will be explained clearly by teacher are still passive, and each changes the tense as well.
