Grammar: Formation of Sentence

Question:

Select the correct option to transform the given Active Voice sentence into Passive Voice.

Don't make a noise.

Options:

Noise not to be made

No noise is made

Let no noise be made

Not to make a noise

Correct Answer:

Let no noise be made

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Let no noise be made

The original sentence, "Don't make a noise," is a negative imperative sentence (a command or instruction).

Passive transformations for imperative sentences typically use the structure "Let + Object + be + Past Participle (V3)."

For negative imperatives (like "Don't..."), the passive structure is:

Let+no+Object+be+Past Participle (V3)
  1. Start with: Let

  2. Add negation and Object: no noise

  3. Add the passive structure: be made (Past Participle of make)

The resulting Passive Voice sentence is: Let no noise be made.
