Sagot :
Answer:
The car is being driven by him.”
Explanation:
The technical answer as everyone has said is, “The car is being driven by him.” But the answer you need to understand what you’re learning is, “The car is being driven.”
Each English sentence usually contains a Subject, a Verb, and an Object in that order. Passive voice often drops the Subject to emphasize the focus on the object.
In your example sentence, the focus is on “he.” “He” is driving the car, as opposed to her, or that rando, or whoever else could be driving the car.
In the changed sentence, the focus moves to “the car.” Now we are taking note that the car is moving, and we don’t care who’s driving it.
Teachers will teach you not to use the passive tense generally for a variety of reasons, mostly because it sounds awkward. There is one instance that it’s more appropriate to use passive tense - it works out really well to describe victims. ‘She was kidnapped.’ ‘He was murdered.’ ‘139 people were poisoned.’ This is especially true in breaking news, where the perpetrator might not be immediately known.
