Answers
Question:
Convert the given sentence into passive voice.
Active voice:-
She switched on the light and left the door open.
Answer:
Passive voice:-
The light was switched on by her and the door was left open.
Explanation:
- While converting active voice to passive voice, the subject of the active voice changes into object of passive voice.
- The object of the active voice changes into subject of passive voice.
- Keep in mind the tense.
- Never change the tense in any case.
- This sentence is in past tense.
- Hence its passive voice will also be in past tense.
The initial sentence given is :
She switched on the light and left the door open.
It is a sentence in simple past. Also the sentence has double object. Thus, there can be two passive voice sentence for the same sentence.
The structure of the passive voice for simple past is as follows :-
Subject + was/were+ v3 + by+agent/object.
Now,
The passive voices can be as follows :-
☸️ The light was switched on by her and the door was left open.
☸️ The light was switched on and the door was left open by her.
Here, we use both the objects as subjects and transfer the agent after the second action.
Also, we can use the second object as the first subject of the sentence to get a different passive voice sentence.
