Question

the shopkeeper sold goods. change into passive Voice

Answer 1

The goods have been sold by the shop keeper

Answer 2

Answer:

The goods were sold by the shopkeeper.

Explanation:

• The voice change in English grammar can be done in two ways: active voice to passive voice and passive voice to active voice.

• In active voice, the emphasis stays on the subject since the subject/doer does the action.

• Example: The shopkeeper(Subject) sold (verb) goods (object).

• But in the case of the passive or inactive voice, the object takes importance as the subject/doer receives the action.

• Example: The goods(object) were sold (verb) by the shopkeeper (subject).  

• During voice change, in the past indefinite tense, it becomes past continuous tense and follows the below structure-
• Object+ was/were + verb 3rd+ by +subject

Hence the correct passive-voiced sente is-

The goods were sold by the shopkeeper.
