Question

The alarm woke us ? Change into active voice to passive voice

Answer 1

Answer:

Were we woken by the alarm?

Explanation:

To change a sentence from active voice to passive voice we have to change the order of the Subject - Verb - Object, where the Subject becomes the Object and the Object becomes the Subject.

In this sentence, The subject is - The alarm, verb - woke, object - us.

Now let us interchange the sentence pattern, subject - we, verb - woken, object - the alarm.

Also since the statement is a question we have to add 'were'. Hence the sentence becomes - Were we woken up by the alarm?

Answer 2

Answer:

We were woken by the alarm.

Explanation:

Like we know, the given sentence is in active voice.

We can recognize this by the fact that the subject is performing the action (on the object), with no form of the verb "be" and the addition of the word "by".

We have been asked to convert it to the passive voice.

To convert it to the passive voice, we need to keep the following in mind -

• The subject and the object have to be interchanged positionally and functionally (active-passive), although keeping the subject-verb agreement in mind.
• The verb must be converted into its 3rd form, keeping the tense and number in mind.
• The right form of the verb "be", and the word "by" has to be added to the sentence.

Thus, keeping the following in mind, we can convert the given sentence into passive voice as We were woken by the alarm.
