Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

Did Rani call you?

Options:

Did you called by Rani?

Was you called by Rani?

Were you called by Rani?

Are you called by Rani?

Correct Answer:

Were you called by Rani?

Explanation:

The correct passive voice form of the given sentence "Did Rani call you?" is Were you called by Rani?

The active voice of the sentence is "Did Rani call you?" This sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past. 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 "you" and the main verb is "call." The past participle of "call" is "called." So, the passive form of the sentence is "Were you called by Rani?"

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Did you called by Rani?" This sentence is in the passive voice, but the verb "called" is in the wrong form. The correct form of the verb in the passive voice is "were called."
  • Was you called by Rani?" This sentence is also in the passive voice, but the subject of the sentence is incorrect. The subject of the sentence should be "you," not "was."
  • Are you called by Rani?" This sentence is in the active voice, but the verb "called" is in the wrong form. The correct form of the verb in the active voice is "calls."
  • You were called by Rani?" This sentence is in the passive voice, but the question mark is in the wrong place. The question mark should be after the verb "were."
