Question 1

Choose the correct passive voice for the given active sentence: "She sings a song."

Accepted Answer

The correct passive voice is "A song is sung by her." Reason: In Simple Present Tense, the passive voice structure is: Object + is/am/are + V3 (Past Participle) + by + Subject. Here, 'A song' becomes the subject, 'sings' changes to 'is sung', and 'She' becomes 'her'.

Question 2

Choose the correct passive voice for the given active sentence: "The teacher punished the student."

Accepted Answer

The correct passive voice is "The student was punished by the teacher." Reason: In Simple Past Tense, the passive structure is: Object + was/were + V3 + by + Subject. 'The student' is singular, so 'was punished' is used.

Question 3

Identify the active voice of the following sentence: "A letter is being written by Ram."

Accepted Answer

The correct active voice is "Ram is writing a letter." Reason: The sentence is in Present Continuous Passive Voice (is/am/are + being + V3). To change it to Active Voice, use: Subject + is/am/are + V-ing + Object.

Question 4

Choose the correct passive form of: "They will help us."

Accepted Answer

The correct passive form is "We will be helped by them." Reason: For Simple Future Tense, the passive structure is Object (Pronoun changed) + will/shall + be + V3 + by + Subject. 'Us' becomes 'We' as the subject.

Question 5

What is the passive voice of the imperative sentence: "Close the door."

Accepted Answer

The correct passive form is "Let the door be closed." Reason: Imperative sentences expressing a command or order follow the rule: Let + Object + be + V3.
