Question

Passive voice of ‘The documents were stolen’

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is

active voice

Answer 2

The provided statement is already in passive voice.

We understand that due to the lack of the subject. Had it been in active voice the statement would have been-

The thief stole the documents.

Here, the subject i.e., 'the thief' has been mentioned. So we can conclude that this sentence is in active voice.

• There is usually an addition of the word 'by', towards the end of the sentence, due to which we can understand that the sentence is in passive voice.
• But in certain cases like this, the subject can be easily guessed or assumed, so one can avoid mentioning it.
