Question

(1) The teacher teaches a lesson in the class. (a) The teacher taught a lesson in the class (b) The lesson taught in the class by the teacher (c) A lesson is taught by the teacher in the class. (d) None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct passive voice is, 'A lesson is taught by the teacher in the class.'

We are given an active voice sentence and have to convert it into passive voice.

Explanation:

• Apparently, the given sentence is in simple present tense because 'teaches' is the base form of verb and root form of verb is applied in simple present tense.
• Furthermore, the rule of changing active to passive in simple present tense is:

       Active Voice: Subject + V1 +s/es + object

       Passive Voice: Object + is/am/are + V3 + by + subject

• Example: Active Voice: He writes a novel.

       Passive Voice: A novel is written by him.

• Thus, the sentence with the above-mentioned format is the correct choice.

Hence, the passive voice is: A lesson is taught by the teacher in the class.
