Watch the sentence change direction.
Passive voice moves the receiver of the action to the front while the meaning remains connected.
In the passive voice of the perfect future tense in an affirmative sentence, we use the modal verb ‘shall/will’ with ‘have’, ‘been’, and the past participle, which is the third form of the verb. In this topic, we shall discuss the formation and the change from active to passive voice in the perfect future tense.
Passive Voice of Perfect Future Tense – Formation
In this, we use a modal verb according to the subject, that is,
- If the subject of the passive voice is first person, singular or plural, that is, ‘I’ or ‘we’, we use the modal verb ‘shall’.
- For the subject of the second person, singular or plural, that is ‘you’, we use the modal verb ‘will’.
- If the subject is third person singular, that is ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, or any other singular number, we use ‘will’.
- For the third person plural, that is, ‘they’ or any other plural number, we use ‘will’.
It means we should use ‘shall’ only when the subject is in the first person, singular or plural. Except for the first person; we should use ‘will’.
In the passive voice of the perfect future tense, we use the past participle (third form) of the verb for positive, negative, interrogative, and negative interrogative structures.
Keep in mind that we should arrange the sentence in the following form:
- Active sentence: subject + shall/will + have + past participle of verb + object
- Passive sentence: object of the active sentence + shall/will + have + been + past participle (third form) of verb + by + subject of the active sentence
Example of Perfect Future Tense – Transformation
Now we shall take an example of the perfect future tense and transform it into the passive voice.
Have a look.
Active: She will have drawn a picture tomorrow. (draw – base form)
First, you should learn how to form the perfect future tense.
The above sentence is in the form-
- Subject + will + have + past participle of verb + object + remaining word
Passive: A picture will have been drawn by her tomorrow. (drawn – past participle of draw)
The passive voice of this sentence is in the form:
- Object in active + will + have + been + past participle of ‘draw’ + by + subject in active + remaining word.
In the above sentence, we can see the changes that occur when transforming from active to passive voice as follows:
- The object of the active form (picture) became the subject.
- The subject ‘she’ became the object ‘her’.
- The modal verb ‘will’ is used.
- ‘Have’ with ‘been’ is added (she, third person singular)
- The past participle of the verb ‘draw’, which is ‘drawn’, is taken.
