Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Choose the option that is the correct passive form of the sentence.

Shivam does not play football.

Options:

Football will not played by Shivam.

Football is not played by Shivam.

Football was not played by Shivam.

Football has not played by Shivam.

Correct Answer:

Football is not played by Shivam.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the sentence Shivam does not play football is Football is not played by Shivam.

The active voice of the sentence is Shivam does not play football. This sentence is in the simple present tense, which is used to describe an action that happens regularly or always happens. The passive voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the active sentence after the verb "to be" and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the subject of the active sentence is "football" and the main verb is "play." The past participle of "play" is "played." So, the passive form of the sentence is Football is not played by Shivam.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Football will not played by Shivam. is in the future tense, while the original sentence is in the present tense.
  • Football was not played by Shivam. is in the simple past tense, while the original sentence is in the simple present tense.
  • Football has not played by Shivam. is in the present perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that has happened in the past but is still relevant to the present. The action of Shivam not playing football is not relevant to the present.
  • Football will not be played by Shivam. is also in the future tense, but it is more grammatically correct than the first option.
