Question 1
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.
Please help me.

A
You were requested to help me.

B
You are being requested to help me.

C
You are requested to help me.

D
You have been requested to help me.

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 given sentence is in the active voice.

The correct answer is C) You are requested to help me.
Option C) is correct as the subject of the given sentence(me) comes in the place of the object and vice versa. Also, the main verb (request) is used in the third form (requested).

Options A, B, and D are not correct as the given sentence is not in the past tense, present continuous tense, and past perfect tense respectively.
Question 2
1 / -0

Change the given sentence to passive voice.

Our English teacher was delivering a lecture. [Advanced]

A
A lecture is being delivered by our English teacher.

B
A lecture is delivered by our English teacher.

C
A lecture had been delivered by our English teacher.

D
A lecture was being delivered by our English teacher.

Solution

The sentence uses the words 'was delivering' which indicates that it is in the past continuous tense. The passive form of the sentence must maintain this tense. Option A) contains the words 'is being delivered' which is in the present continuous tense. Hence, it is incorrect. Option B) is incorrect because it has 'is delivered' which is in the past tense. Option C) indicates that the lecture is complete and not an ongoing process as is indicated by the original sentence.
So, the most appropriate answer is D) A lecture was being delivered by our English teacher.
Question 3
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
Why did you not agree to my proposal?

A
Why was my proposal not agreed to?

B
Why was my proposal not agreed by you?

C
Why my proposal was not agreed to by you?

D
Why was my proposal not agreed to by you?

Solution

When changing from active to passive voice, the subject becomes the object and the sentence in passive voice changes to "WH + be + S + V3 + prep + object".
So, here the object "my proposal" becomes the subject and the subject "you" becomes the object.
Thus, the correct passive voice of the given sentence is option D "Why was my proposal not agreed to by you". It follows the rule "Why + was (be) + my proposal (object in active becomes subject in passive) + not agreed (past participle of verb not agree) + to (preposition) + by you (subject becomes the object).
Option A is incorrect as it is missing the object.
Option B is incorrect as it is missing the preposition.
Option C is incorrect as the auxiliary form of 'be' (was) precedes the subject in a 'WH interrogative sentences', it does not follow it.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Question 4
1 / -0

Change the following statement into active voice.
This shirt cannot be worn by me any longer.

A
I cannot wear this shirt any longer.

B
Wearing of this shirt any longer is not possible.

C
This shirt is too worn out any longer.

D
This worn out shirt cannot be worn any longer.

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 verb depends upon the sentence given in the active voice.
The correct answer is A) I cannot wear this shirt any longer.
Option A is correct as the subject of the given sentence (This shirt) comes in the place of the object (me) and vice versa, the same tense is used (simple present tense), and the main verb which is in its past participle form is transformed to the first form.
Question 5
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.

Whom do you want?

A
Who is wanted by you?

B
Who is being wanted by you?

C
You are wanted by whom?

D
You are being wanted by whom?

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 given sentence is in the active voice.
The correct answer is A) Who is wanted by you?
Option A) is correct as the subject of the given sentence(you) comes in the place of the object and vice versa. Also, the main verb (want) is used in the third form (wanted).
Options B, C, and D are not correct as the given sentence is not in the present continuous tense and 'you' will come in the place of the object.
Question 6
1 / -0

A

B

C
Can it go by air?

D
Can it be send by air?

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice.
The correct answer is B) Can it be sent by air?
Option B) is correct as the object of the given sentence(it) comes in the place of the subject (we- which is not required in the sentence). Also, the main verb (send) is used in the third form (sent ).
Options A, C, and D cannot be used here as 'this' cannot be used in the place of 'we', the given main verb is not 'go' and the form of the main verb is not changed respectively.

B
This is to be done by me.

C

Solution

The correct answer is C)Let this be done by me.
Option C is correct as the subject of the given sentence (you- it is understandable that the speaker is speaking to someone in front of him) comes in the place of the object (me) and vice versa, the same tense is used (simple present tense), 'be' is used with the past participle of the main verb(do).
Question 8
1 / -0

Change the following statement into indirect speech:

A
Gaurav said to Saurabh that he has not been taking the examination because he was not very confident about his studies.

B
Gaurav told Saurabh that he has not been taking the examination because he was not very confident about his studies.

C
Gaurav told Saurabh that I am not taking the examination because I am not very confident about my studies.

D
Gaurav told Saurabh that he was not taking the examination because he was not very confident about his studies.

Solution

When we're reporting a speech, we're narrating things that happened or were said in the past. So, the speech will go one tense back.
In reported speech, we add a reporting verb (usually 'said'), the subject changes in narration ('he', 'she' or 'they') and the related words also change.

Option D: For reporting the speech here, 'I' changes to 'he'. 'Am not taking' is in the present continuous, it changes to 'was not taking', the past continuous, 'am not' will change to 'was not'.
So, the corrected reported speech for the sentence "I am not taking the examination because I am not very confident about my studies." is:

'Gaurav told Saurabh that he was not taking the examination because he was not very confident about his studies.'
Hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Has not been taking' is in the present perfect continuous tense, whereas the tense should be past continuous.
Option B: Similarly, here too the tense has not been changed correctly.
Option C: 'I' has not been changed to 'he', and the tense of both verb forms have not been changed. Only the inverted commas have been eliminated.
Hence these options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
A lion does not eat grass, however hungry he maybe.

A
Grass is not eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.

B
Grass is not being eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.

C
Grass is eaten not by a lion, however hungry he may be.

D
Grass is not being eat by a lion, however hungry he may be.

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 A) Grass is not eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.
Option A is correct as the subject of the given sentence (A lion) comes in the place of the object (grass) and vice versa, the same tense is used (simple present tense), appropriate helping verb (is) is used, and the past participle of the main verb ( eat) is used.
Question 10
1 / -0

Change the following statement into indirect speech.
Mohan said, "I have been studying very regularly since July." [Advanced]

A
Mohan said that I have been studying very regularly since July.

B
Mohan told that I had been studying very regularly since July.

C
Mohan said that he had been studying very regularly since July.

D
Mohan said that he have been studying very regularly since July.

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 C is correct as the direct speech is in the past continuous tense and the appropriate introductory verb (said) is used.
Options A,B, and D are wrong as the sentence is not transformed completely,'I' cannot be used, and 'have been' is not transformed respectively.
The correct answer is C)Mohan said that he had been studying very regularly since July.
