Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

Why does homework have to be done daily?

Options:

Why should we do homework daily?

Why are we doing homework daily?

Why do we have to do homework daily?

Why did we do homework daily?

Correct Answer:

Why do we have to do homework daily?

Explanation:

The correct active form of the given sentence is Why do we have to do homework daily?

The sentence Why does homework have to be done daily? is in the interrogative form, which asks a question. 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 "homework" and the main verb is "do." The past participle of "do" is "done." So, the passive form of the sentence is Why does homework have to be done daily?

The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the passive sentence before the verb and removing the verb "to be." In this case, the subject of the passive sentence is "we" and the main verb is "do." So, the active form of the sentence is Why do we have to do homework daily?

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Why should we do homework daily? is a question that asks for a reason or justification.
  • Why are we doing homework daily? is a question that asks about the current state of affairs.
  • Why did we do homework daily? is a question that asks about a past event.
