The boy killed a snake what is the pattern of a sentence?
The given sentence is an active sentence. It is in the simple past tense.
The boy killed a snake => (Active Sentence)
Active structure = Subject + verb3 + object.
A snake was killed by the boy => (Passive sentence)
The Passive structure is as follows:
Object + was/were + verb3 + by + subject.
Rules:
Exchange the places of the subject and object. While converting a sentence from active to passive we should convert the main verb into its past participle which is also known as the third form of a verb. We should always use the word "by" in the passive sentence.
Answer:
The boy(Subject third «person singular») Kill(Verb«bare infinitive») a snake(Object). What is wrong with the sentence is that the tense is not precised. To change this sentence into passive voice it is very important to correct it. It could be: The boys kill a snake or the boy kills a snake or again the boy killed a snake.
A snake is killed by the boys. A snake is killed by the boy or A snake was killed by the boy.
