Question

The wires of the house were cut by the thieves. (Change into passive voice)​

Answer 1

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in the active voice.

The correct answer is D)Someone has cut the telegraph wires.

Option D is correct as the given sentence is in the passive voice and to transform it into the active voice, the main verb is used in its third form (cut) and the object of the given sentence comes in the place of the subject.

Answer 2

⋆ Voice

Voice refers to the form of a verb that shows whether the subject of a sentence performs the action or is affected by it.

Points to remember ↷

When we change a sentence from the active to the passive voice :

➻The tense of the verb remains the same.

➻The beeb has to agree with the subject of the sentence.

Examples of active voice :

• Ravi wrote a letter
• Ram killed a snake

Examples of passive voice :

• A letter was written by Ravi
• A snake was killed by Ram
