Passive voice

[thushanthiw]

How can we change this in to passive voice?
"She goes to school everyday."

 

[5jj]

We can't. GO is an intransitive verb.

Why would you want to do that, thushanthiw?

We can't. GO is an intransitive verb.

NOT A TEACHER.

But of course we can.

"School has been gone to everyday by her."

A perfectly natural-sounding sentence. :lol:

 

[Bide]

She is brought to school every day by her father.
She is driven to school every day by her father.
She is dragged to school every day by her father.
She is forced to go to school every day by her father.

But I think Jasmin's sentence is of surpassing elegance, truly Shakespearian!

"School has been gone to everyday by her."

Very nice .

However, just in case thushanthiw or some other learners do not realise, Jasmin is joking. This is not a possible sentence in English.

That's right. Even if it were, every day would need to be two words.

It's very nice of you all .Thank you so much.
And I will be really happy if you could give me a clear answer.
One more question. Is 'go' in this sentence is an intrasitive verb?
We have direct object(school) in that sentence.Am I correct?
I'm still a beginer in this area. Can you please explain me that?

 

[5jj]

'Go' is intransitive. 'School is not the direct object - it follows a preposition.

She hates school. Subject - verb - direct object.
She goes to school. Subject -verb - preposition - object of preposition (as some would call it)

The clear answer, given by fivejedjon in post#2, is that it can't be changed into passive.
Or at least, as demonstrated by the other posters, not in any natural way. There is no reason to try to make that sentence passive.

 

[Rover_KE]

And I will be really happy if you could give me a clear answer.

. . . And I will be happy if you would answer my earlier question: Why do you want to put it into the passive?

As bhai says, there's no reason to do so.

So if an object follows a preposition,it's not a direct object?
That means in such cases we can't have passive voice?

We can in certain cases:

I gave Mary a book.
I gave a book to Mary.

Mary was given a book.
A book was given to Mary.

When a to+noun phrase acts as an indirect object (roughly speaking, the recipient of something), both direct and indirect objects can act as the subject of a passive construction. Note that the verb is transitive.
