Transforming Sentences from Active to Passive Voice in Modal Tenses
Understanding sentence structures, especially in modal tenses, is essential for effective communication. One fundamental aspect involves transforming a sentence from an active voice to a passive voice. This article will guide you through the process of doing just that, focusing on how to change modal tenses from active to passive voice.

Understanding Active and Passive Voice in the Context of Modal Tenses
Active Voice: In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action. For instance, in the sentence, "She will cook the food daily," the subject "she" is doing the action.
Passive Voice: In passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action. The structure changes to Subject be past participle by agent (the doer of the action). For instance, we can transform the sentence to "The food will be cooked by her daily."
Transforming from Active to Passive Voice with a Modal Tense
Let's take the sentence:
Active Voice: Food will have to be cooked by her daily.
To transform this to passive voice, we follow the steps below:
Identify the subject and the object: In the active voice, the subject is "food" and the verb phrase (to do the action) is "will have to be cooked by her daily." Rearrange the sentence: Start with the object of the active sentence, which "food" in this case, followed by the modal verb "will have to be," then the past participle "cooked," by the agent "her," and finally the adverb "daily."Passive Voice: The food will have to be cooked by her daily.
