Use the sentence to answer the question.
When Andrew started the car, a terrible sound was heard.
In a paragraph, identify the shift in voice and explain how to correct it.
The sentence is written in the passive voice. The subject, Andrew, is not the one performing the action. Instead, the action (starting the car) is happening to him. To fix this, we can shift the sentence to the active voice. For example, "Andrew heard a terrible sound when he started the car." In this sentence, Andrew is the one performing the action (starting the car) and the terrible sound is happening to him. This makes the sentence clearer and more engaging for the reader.
The shift in voice in the sentence is from active voice to passive voice. The active voice is used when the subject of the sentence performs the action, while the passive voice is used when the subject receives the action. In the given sentence, "Andrew" is the subject who started the car, but the passive voice is used by stating that "a terrible sound was heard."
To correct the shift in voice, we can rephrase the sentence to be in active voice by mentioning the subject as the one who hears the sound. For example, "When Andrew started the car, he heard a terrible sound." This sentence maintains a consistent active voice by attributing the action of hearing the sound to the subject, Andrew.
