Rewrite the sentence using the passive voice.
"People threaten the survival of many species by destroying their habitats."
Çözüm:
📘 We need to change the sentence from active to passive voice. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
- ➡️ Step 1: Identify the key parts of the active sentence.
- Subject: People
- Verb: threaten
- Object: the survival of many species
- ➡️ Step 2: Make the object the new subject: "The survival of many species".
- ➡️ Step 3: Use the correct form of the verb 'to be' (is/am/are/was/were) + past participle of the main verb. The main verb is 'threaten', its past participle is 'threatened'. Since "the survival" is singular, we use is threatened.
- ➡️ Step 4: Add the rest of the sentence "by destroying their habitats". The original subject ("People") can be introduced with "by", but it is often omitted in passive voice when it's obvious or unimportant. In this case, we'll keep it for clarity.
✅ The sentence in passive voice is: "The survival of many species is threatened by the destruction of their habitats." (Note: "by people" is omitted as it's implied, and "destroying" is changed to "the destruction of" for better flow).
