How would I fix the following sentence into active voice instead of passive?
Collaboration with parents of the student would be required to ensure the child receives proper support from the family.
Make the predicate active. IS it required or is it not?
Figure out WHO is supposed to be doing this collaborating. Make those people the subject of the active sentence. Change the verb and some other words to fit the revised thought.
Let us know what you come up with.
To convert the given sentence from passive voice to active voice, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Identify the subject, object, and verb.
- Subject: Parents
- Verb: Collaboration required
- Object: Student
Step 2: Rewrite the sentence, making the subject the doer of the action (verb) and eliminating the auxiliary verb "would be."
"Parents of the student would be required to collaborate to ensure the child receives proper support from the family."
Step 3: Restructure the sentence into active voice.
- Subject: Parents
- Verb: Collaborate
- Object: To ensure the child receives proper support from the family
"Parents collaborate to ensure the child receives proper support from the family."
Now, the sentence is in active voice, where the subject (parents) performs the action (collaborate) directly on the object (to ensure the child receives proper support from the family).
