Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the option that is the passive form of the sentence.

Jiya wrote the research paper with the help of her tutor.

Options:

The research paper is being written by Jiya with the help of her tutor.

The research paper was wrote by Jiya with the help of the tutor.

The research paper can be written by the tutor with the help of Jiya.

The research paper was written by Jiya with the help of her tutor.

Correct Answer:

The research paper was written by Jiya with the help of her tutor.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the sentence is The research paper was written by Jiya with the help of her tutor.

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 "Jiya" and the main verb is "write." The past participle of "write" is "written." So, the active form of the sentence is "Jiya wrote the research paper with the help of her tutor."

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 "the research paper" and the main verb is "write." The past participle of "write" is "written." So, the passive form of the sentence is The research paper was written by Jiya with the help of her tutor.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The research paper is being written by Jiya with the help of her tutor is in the present progressive tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
  • The research paper was wrote by Jiya with the help of the tutor is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to write" is followed by a direct object, but the phrase "was wrote by Jiya with the help of the tutor" does not have a direct object.
  • The research paper can be written by the tutor with the help of Jiya is in the present tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
  • The research paper can be written by Jiya with the help of the tutor is not a passive sentence. The subject of the sentence is "the research paper," but the verb "can be written" is not in the passive voice.
