Hi, I need help finding out if the verb is weak , passive voice, nominalization
and rewrite the sentence.
This is the sentence: Prolonged use of the battery can cause it to become drained of its energy.
I would say the verb is weak? and rewrite it as follows;
Prolonged use of the battery will cause it to become drained of its energy.
Does that sound right? Thank you for your help.

Hi; I will try an answer, but I am not sure of your context... English has two classes of verbs - the strong verbs, and the weak verbs. The strong verbs are all from Old English and they are some of the most common verbs in the language.

- The strong verbs are all from Old English and they are some of the most common verbs in the language.
- They were inflected (changed tense) by a sound or form change, not simply adding -ed.
- All weak verbs came from other languages, but some also came from Old English where they were inflected by the -ed ending, not a sound change.
