Question

Can anyone help me? Identify whether the sentence below is active, can be rewritten in active voice, or cannot be rewritten.
The findings of the study will be published in Scientific Journal next month.

Answer 1

I don't think it can be written again

Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence is written in the passive voice and it can be rewritten in the active voice.

Explanation:

Sentences in passive voice are used when we want to put emphasis on the action and the object of that segment instead of the subject. It implies that the subject is whether irrelevant or that we are not interested in knowing who it is.  Passive voice sentences follow this structure:

Auxiliary verb + past participle

In the example:  

* The findings of the study will be published in Scientific Journal next month.

"The findings of the study" acts as the subject of the sentence while "will be published" is the verb.  

On the other hand, active voice sentences are used when a subject does an action to an object. We could rewrite our example in an active voice like follows:  

* Someone will publish the findings of the study in Scientific Journal next month.

In this case "Someone" is the subject in the sentence; the verb is "will publish"; and the object becomes "the findings of the study".
