    Passive voice 1
    Message from bhardwaj002 posted on 23-03-2009 at 09:58:05 (D | E | F)

    Hello,could you help me please?
    14. Does a nurse look after them when they are seriously ill?

    ARE LOOKED AFTER BY A NURSE WHEN THEY ARE SERIOUSLY ILL? Wrong!

    Correct answer: ARE THEY LOOKED AFTER BY A NURSE WHEN THEY ARE SERIOUSLY ILL?

    Why "they" is used twice in the correct answer.

    Hi bhardwaj002,
    Does a nurse look after them when they are seriously ill?
    In this sentence, when written in passive voice, THEM turns into THEY.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,I think the problem with your wrong sentence is that the word "by" can't be used without a object ,people aminal or some other thing whatever ,but it can't be ignored!
    Hope that helps!
