English Grammar - Active Voice and Passive Voice

Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure: The photos will be printed by the studio within an hour.


Options:

  1. The studio prints the photos within an hour.
  2. The studio will print the photos within an hour.
  3. The photos printed by the studio soon.
  4. The studio had printed the photos in an hour.

Right Answer: The studio will print the photos within an hour.

The given sentence 'The photos will be printed by the studio within an hour' is in the simple future passive voice (object + will + be + past participle + by + subject). To convert this into active voice, the doer of the action ('the studio') becomes the subject, and the tense must remain simple future active (subject + will + base verb + object). Option 1 incorrectly uses the present tense 'prints' instead of future tense. Option 3 is grammatically incomplete and lacks the auxiliary verb. Option 4 wrongly uses the past perfect tense 'had printed', which changes the meaning and tense entirely. Only option 2, 'The studio will print the photos within an hour', correctly preserves the future tense in active voice. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
