Question

He knew nothing of modern rigour. ( State the part of speech of modern word).​

Answer 1

Here is the correct answer:

Nothing of the modern rigour was known to him.

Explanation:

The verb in the sentence was Simple Past in the active form (knew). When we convert the active voice of Simple Past into passive voice, we use passive form equivalent to the active form. The active form in Simple past is 'V2' or Simple Past form of the verb. The object is made the subject and vice versa; 'by' is added. The passive form in Simple Past is was/were +V3.

The verb ‘know’ takes the preposition ‘to’.
