Question

All the cars were sold. (Change the voice)

Answer 1

Answer:

• Here the given sentence is an example of passive voice because 'were' is used as an auxiliary verb of passive voice of Simple Past Tense. Now we have to write its active voice and it is : Someone sold all the cars.

• Above sentence has turned into an example of Simple Past Tense because its main verb 'sold' is past form of 'sell'. When there is no subject, we can use 'someone' as a subject in a sentence and it is mentioned above.

Answer 2

The following sentence is in passive voice. After converting it to active voice, it becomes- "Someone sold all the cars."

• In the active voice, the auxiliary verb 'were' is removed and the past form of 'sell' sits as a verb. It was in past participle form in the passive voice.
• Here, 'someone' is added because the object was invisible in the passive voice.
• Here, the subject 'all the cars' becomes the object.
• The tense of the voice is Simple Past Tense.
