Choose the most appropriate option to change the voice (active / passive) form of the given sentence.

New herbs were grown by the gardener.

Answer

Correct Answer : a ) The gardener grew new herbs.

Explanation :

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

Passive structure: Object (New herbs) + verb (were) + main verb (grown) + by + subject (the gardener)

Active structure: Subject (The gardener) + change of verb accordingly (given below) + object (new herbs)

The following rules are used:

In past simple tense, verb (were grown) will be changed to simple past form of verb (grew).
were grown (passive) – grew (active)

So, sentence in active voice will be, “The gardener grew new herbs.”

Hence, (A) is the correct answer.
