Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Identify the sentence in Passive Voice.

Options:

The concert is continuing.

The concert held at the new auditorium was superb.

We enjoyed the concert.

The concert has been postponed.

Correct Answer:

The concert has been postponed.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → The concert has been postponed.

  • In passive voice, the focus is on the action being done to the subject rather than who is performing the action.
  • "The concert has been postponed" is in passive voice because:
    • The object of the active sentence (someone postponed the concert) becomes the subject.
    • The structure follows: Subject + has been + past participle (postponed).

OTHER OPTIONS

  1. "The concert is continuing."(Active voice)

    • The subject ("concert") is performing the action.
  2. "The concert held at the new auditorium was superb."(Active voice, descriptive sentence)

    • This is a descriptive statement, not an action being performed on the subject.
  3. "We enjoyed the concert."(Active voice)

    • "We" (the subject) is performing the action ("enjoyed").
