Change the following sentence from active to passive voice:I am watching movies
Answers
Explanation:
The most famous sentence, most of us are familiar is:
Ram killed Ravana. - Active Voice
Ravana was killed by Ram. - Passive Voice
Here the first sentence is said to be in Active Voice and the second sentence in Passive Voice.
A sentence is said to be in Active Voice when the subject does something. Similarly, a sentence is said to be in Passive Voice when something is done to the subject.
In the above sentence Ram is the ‘subject’ and Ravana is the ‘object’. In the active voice sentence Ram i.e., the subject has killed the object Ravana. In the second sentence Ravana is the subject but he allowed himself to be killed by subject Ram. Here the subject is Passive. Therefore, it is called Passive voice.
eg. :
Raghu kicked the ball.
In this sentence Raghu is the ‘subject’ and ball is the ' object'. The word kicked is the verb.
Here it must be noted that:
‘I’ becomes ‘me’ in Passive voice
‘We’ becomes ‘us’
‘You’ remains ‘you’
‘He’ becomes ‘him’
‘She’ becomes ‘her’
‘It’ remains ‘it’
‘They’ becomes ‘them.’
