Active and Passive Voice Practice Question of 17 December 2022

Question of The Day17-12-2022

In the following question, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice.

Ankush will not bear the tantrums of his wife from now on.

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) The tantrums of his wife will not be borne by Ankush from now on.

Explanation :

The given sentence is in active structure; we need to change it to passive.

Active structure: Subject (Ankush) + verb (will not bear) + object (the tantrums of his wife) + complement

Passive structure: Object (The tantrums of his wife) + change of verb accordingly (given below)+ complement + by + subject (Ankush)

The following rules are used:

In simple future tense, negative structure

verb (will not bear) will be changed as helping verb(will) + not + be + third form of verb(borne)
will not bear (active)– will not be borne (passive)
Complement part (from now on) takes no change.

So, sentence in passive voice will be, “The tantrums of his wife will not be borne by Ankush from now on.”

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
