Grammar
correct a sentence
Hi
i want to know whether the following sentence is GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT
'My work has not been started yet'
since 'My work' is an object and once we give importance to the work, is it not more appropriate to state the sentance in passive voice????
please give a detailed reply

It is grammatically correct. So is My work has not started yet (where work is the subject). You ask about appropriacy, which is not the same as grammatical correctness.
- It is grammatically correct.

- If you wish to indicate I have not started wor k-- without phrasing it that way (active voice places blame)-- then use the passive (where blame is not assigned).
