Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct Passive form of the given sentence.

 

He likes people to call him pardhan ji.

Options:

He likes to be called Pardhan ji by people.

He likes to be call Pardhan ji by people.

He likes people who call him Pardhan ji.

To call him Pardhan ji is liked by people.

Correct Answer:

He likes to be called Pardhan ji by people.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the given sentence is:

He likes to be called Pardhan ji by people.

Explanation:

In the active voice sentence "He likes people to call him Pardhan ji," the subject is "He," and the verb is "likes." The verb "likes" is followed by the infinitive "to call" and the object "him Pardhan ji." To change this sentence to the passive voice, we need to make "He" the object and use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (in this case, "to be") followed by the past participle of the infinitive "called." The correct passive form is "He likes to be called Pardhan ji by people."

Now let's analyze the other options:

☀ He likes to be call Pardhan ji by people. This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect form of the past participle "call" instead of "called."

☀ He likes people who call him Pardhan ji. This option is incorrect as it changes the meaning of the original sentence. It implies that he likes people who call him Pardhan ji, but it doesn't capture the same meaning as the original sentence.

☀ To call him Pardhan ji is liked by people. This option is also incorrect as it is an awkward and less natural way of expressing the idea. The original sentence is more straightforward and clear.
