Choose the most appropriate option to change the voice (active/ passive) form of the given sentence.
The books bought from Deepti's store were lost by Jeremy.
Answer
Correct Answer : a ) Jeremy lost the books bought from Deepti's store.
Explanation :The given sentence is in the passive structure; we need to change it to active.
Passive structure: Object (the books) + complement + helping verb (were) + main verb (lost) + by + subject (Jeremy)
Active structure: Subject (Jeremy) + change of verb accordingly (given below) + object (the books) + complement
The following rules are used:
· In simple past tense, the verb (lost) replace the helping verb(were) + third form of the verb(lost)
· were lost (passive)– lost (active)
'Bought' is not the main action word for the sentence. So, there will be no change in the complement part, i.e., 'bought from Deepti's store'.
The active structure is- 'Jeremy lost the books bought from Deeptii's store.'
Hence, (a) is the correct answer.
