  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct passive form from the options given below:
    A new sports centre _________ in my town.
    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 active voice.


    The correct answer is D) Is being built as the sentence is the present continuous form and the main verb is used in the third form.

    Options A, B, and C are not correct as 'A new sports centre ' doesn't represent a plural noun, helping verb is not used and the form of the main verb is not correct respectively.

    A new sports centre is being built in my town.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct passive form from the options given.
    How old are these houses? When _________ built?
    Solution
    NOTE: The given sentence is in the passive voice. 'Old' explains that the sentence is in simple past tense. To form a question in the simple past tense, we need 'was/were', a pronoun/noun and the verb in the past participle form.
    Option A - 'Are they' can be used in the present tense and not past tense. 'They' is correct as we use 'they' as a pronoun for 'old houses'. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Are them' can be used in the present tense and not the past tense. 'Them' is used as the object pronoun, which is used to explain about the object that has experienced the action. For example, 'We gave the apples to them', here 'them' experiences the action of receiving apples from 'we'. Here, the sentence explains 'houses' as the subject and not the object, hence we can't use them here. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Were them' can be used in the passive voice. As the subject is plural, we can use 'were'. However, we can't use 'them' because of the above-explained reasons. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Were they' can be used here in the passive voice. 'Were' can be used as the subject 'houses' is plural and 'they' can be used as a pronoun for the houses. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
    'How old are these houses? When were they built?'
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the most appropriate passive form for the given sentence:
    Who taught her French?
    Solution
    In order to convert the given question into passive voice, let's understand the difference between active and passive voice.
    Active voice emphasises on the person who does the action, whereas passive voice emphasises on the action itself. For example:
    Active: The thief stole my car.
    Passive: My car was stolen by the thief.
    NOTE: In order to convert the given question into passive voice, we need to convert the subject 'who' into the object. And, as the question is in simple past tense, we will use 'was/were' and the verb in the past participle tense. 
    Option B - 'Who is that who teach her French?' This is in the active voice, as 'who' is still the subject of the interrogatory sentence. The question in the passive voice should be in the simple past tense and hence 'teach' can't be used. Also, 'that' is a determiner which can only be used in the passive voice if it exists in the active voice unless it indicates 'today-that day'. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Who is teaching her French?' This question is in the active voice, as 'who' is the doer and the sentence places emphasis on the doer. Also, we need the passive voice in the simple past tense and not in present continuous tense. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Whom has taught French to her? 'Whom' is used as the subject here, whereas 'whom' actually is the object form of the word 'who'. Also, the sentence has to be in the simple past tense and not present perfect tense. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'By whom was she taught French?' Here, 'whom' is used as the object instead of 'who'. The word 'by' explains that the sentence is in the passive voice. As explained above, we use 'was/were' and the verb in the past participle form to form the sentence in the simple past tense in the passive voice. Thus option A is the correct answer.
    'By whom was she taught French?' 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the most appropriate passive form for the given sentence:
    In winter people burn a lot of oil.
    Solution
    In order to convert the given question into passive voice, let's understand the difference between active and passive voice.
    Active voice emphasises on the person who does the action, whereas passive voice emphasises on the action itself. For example:
    Active: The thief stole my car.
    Passive: My car was stolen by the thief.
    The object 'My car' comes first and the subject 'the thief' is put after the verb in the passive voice.
    The doer in the given sentence is: 'People'
    The verb in the given sentence is: 'burn'
    The receiver of the action in the given sentence is: 'a lot of oil' (We use 'a lot' because it describes 'oil'.)
    In the passive voice, the receiver becomes the subject. Right after the subject, we place a verb and then the receiver of the action (object) and the remaining clause, if any. We also use 'by' before the object to show that the action was performed by the object.
    As the given sentence in the active voice is in the simple present tense, we will use 'is/am/are' and the verb in the past participle form to form the sentence in the simple present tense in the passive voice.
    Hence, 'A lot of oil is burnt by people in winter.'
    Thus option A, B and C are incorrect.
    CORRECT ANSWER - D - 'A lot of oil is burnt by people in winter.'
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Chose the most appropriate passive form for the given sentence:
    I will buy the tickets in advance.
    Solution
    In order to convert the given question into passive voice, let's understand the difference between active and passive voice.
    Active voice emphasises on the person who does the action, whereas passive voice emphasises on the action itself. For example:
    Active: The thief stole my car.
    Passive: My car was stolen by the thief.
    The object 'My car' comes first and the subject 'the thief' is put after the verb in the passive voice.
    The doer in the given sentence is: 'I'
    The verb in the given sentence is: 'will buy'
    The receiver of the action in the given sentence is: 'the tickets' (We use 'the' with 'tickets' because it is a determiner.)
    Remaining clause: 'in advance'
    In the passive voice, the receiver becomes the subject. Right after the subject, we place a verb and then the receiver of the action (object) and the remaining clause, if any. We also use 'by' before the object to show that the action was performed by the object.
    'I' is the subjective pronoun and can't be used as an object, hence we will use 'me' here which is an objective pronoun.
    As the given sentence in the active voice is in the simple future tense, we will use 'will/shall' and 'be' with the verb in the past participle form to form the sentence in the simple future tense in the passive voice.
    Hence, 'The tickets will be bought by me in advance.'
    Thus option A, B and D are incorrect.
    CORRECT ANSWER - C - 'The tickets will be bought by me in advance.'
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct passive form from the options given.
    There was a fire at the hotel last week. Two of the rooms _________.
    Solution
    NOTE: When we talk about actions done to non-living things, we use the object as subject. Hence, the given sentence is in the passive voice. 
    Looking at the first sentence, we understand that the action happened in the past and hence we will use the simple past tense. 
    We use 'was/were' with the verb in the past participle form to form the sentence in the simple past tense in the passive voice. 
    Option B - 'Are being damaged' can be used in the passive voice to form the sentence in the present continuous tense. Thus option B is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Are damaged' can be used in the passive voice to form the sentence in the simple present tense. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
    Option D - 'Were being damaged' can be used in the passive voice to form the sentence in the past continuous tense. Thus option D is incorrect. 
    Option A - 'Were damaged' can be used here because the subject of the given sentence is plural, hence we can use 'were'. Also, the verb 'damaged' is in the past participle form. Thus option A is the correct answer. 
    'There was a fire at the hotel last week. Two of the rooms were damaged.'
