Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

You have to see it to believe it.

Options:

It needs to being seen to be believed.

It have to be seen to believe.

It has to be seen to be believed.

It has to be seen to being believed.

Correct Answer:

It has to be seen to be believed.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the given sentence is: It has to be seen to be believed.

The active voice is formed by putting the subject of the sentence before the verb and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the subject of the sentence is "you" and the main verb is "see." The past participle of "see" is "seen." So, the active form of the sentence is "You have to see it to believe it."

The passive voice 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 "it" and the main verb is "see." The past participle of "see" is "seen." So, the passive form of the sentence is "It has to be seen to be believed."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • It needs to being seen to be believed is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to need" is followed by a direct object, but the phrase "needs to being seen" is not a direct object.
  • It have to be seen to believe is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to have" is followed by a past participle, but the phrase "have to be seen" is not a past participle.
  • It has to be seen to being believed is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to be" is followed by a past participle, but the phrase "being believed" is not a past participle.
