An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in the active voice.
The correct answer is B)Medicine should be taken in time.
Option B is correct as the given sentence is an imperative statement with the implicit subject of 'you' (it is understood that the speaker is speaking to someone in front of him) , the transformed sentence also uses the simple present tense using the appropriate helping verb (should- because it is advisable and gives an indication of compulsion) with 'be' and the participle of the main verb (take).
Options A, C, and D are wrong as the transformed sentence cannot start with 'in' , the sentence structure is wrong, and the given sentence is not in the present perfect tense respectively.

B

C

D
If I have some money with me, I would get a taxi.

Solution

On transforming the given sentence, it will become a third conditional sentence.
Third conditional sentences are used to explain that present circumstances would be different if something different had happened in the past.
When using the third conditional, we use the past perfect (i.e., had + past participle) in the if-clause. The modal auxiliary (would, could, should, etc.) + have + past participle in the main clause expresses the theoretical situation that could have happened.
Thus after transformation, the sentence must be,
If I had had some money with me, I would have got a taxi.
Thus option C is the correct answer.
Options A,B,D are incorrect as they do not follow the rules.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the option that correctly transforms the given sentence into reported speech:
Bring a glass of water.

A

B

C
Let a glass of water be brought.

D
Let a glass of water will be brought

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in the active voice.
The correct answer is C)Let a glass of water be brought
Option C is correct as the object of the given sentence (a glass of water ) comes in the place of the subject (which is not required as it is understandable that the person whom the speaker is speaking to is standing in front of the speaker).
As the speaker asks the listener to do something,'let' is used, the given sentence in the simple present tense, and 'be' is used with the past participle form of the main verb.
Options A,B, and D are wrong as it is compulsory to use 'let' because the sentence is a command, 'should' cannot be used here, the given sentence is not in the future tense respectively.

1 / -0

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option D is correct as the appropriate introductory verb 'exclaimed' is used and the given direct speech is in the simple present tense.
Options A,B, and C are wrong as 'it' cannot be used, 'the place' is missing, and 'is' cannot be used respectively.
The correct answer is D)We exclaimed with joy that the place was very fine.
Question 9
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence by changing its voice (Passive/Active voice):

Who made a maiden century?

A
By whose was a maiden century made?

B
By whom was a maiden century make?

C
By whom was a maiden century made?

D
By whom had a maiden century made?

Solution

A sentence is in the active voice when the subject performs an action.
A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject receives an action.
The given sentence is in active form and will be changed to passive. While changing an interrogative sentence to passive voice, the subject 'who' changes to an object 'by whom'.

The passive form of 'made' in the simple past tense is 'was/were made'.
This can be seen in option C 'was a maiden century made', hence it's the right answer.

Option A: 'Whose' is a possessive pronoun and does not function as a subject.
Option B: The verb form 'make' is in the present tense whereas the sentence is in the past 'made'.
Option D: The verb form 'had...made' expresses the past perfect tense in active voice. The given sentence is in simple past tense and must be changed to passive voice.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Write in indirect speech:
'You must stay a little longer,' she said to me.

A
She told me that I must stay a little longer.

B
She said to me that you must stay a little longer.

C
She said to me to stay a little longer.

D
She told me to stay a little longer.

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option A is correct as the given sentence is in the simple present tense.
Options B,C, and D are wrong as 'to me' can't be used,'that' is missing and 'must' cannot be missed respectively.
The correct answer is A)She told me that I must stay a little longer.
