Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

From the given alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the sentence in Active/Passive voice.
His money has been stolen.

Options:

Someone has stolen his money

Stolen has been his money.

They have his money stolen

Stealing has been done to his money

Correct Answer:

Someone has stolen his money

Explanation:

Someone has stolen his money.

Explanation:

  • Someone has stolen his money: This option correctly transforms the passive voice sentence "His money has been stolen" into active voice. It maintains the same meaning and reverses the subject and object while using the appropriate verb tense.

  • Stolen has been his money: This option is not grammatically correct and does not accurately convey the intended meaning.

  • They have his money stolen: This option is not a correct transformation of the original sentence. It changes the structure and meaning of the sentence.

  • Stealing has been done to his money: This option does not accurately convey the passive voice of the original sentence. It changes the structure and meaning by using the gerund form "stealing."
