Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct active voice form of the given sentence

A cartoon film is being watched by Praveen.

Options:

Praveen would like to watch a cartoon film

Praveen had been watching a cartoon film.

Praveen is watched a cartoon film.

Praveen is watching a cartoon film.

Correct Answer:

Praveen is watching a cartoon film.

Explanation:

The correct active voice form of the given sentence "A cartoon film is being watched by Praveen" is Praveen is watching a cartoon film.

The passive voice of the sentence is "A cartoon film is being watched by Praveen." This sentence is in the present progressive tense, which is used to describe an action that is happening now but is not finished. The passive voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the active sentence after the verb "to be" and the present participle of the main verb. In this case, the subject of the active sentence is "a cartoon film" and the main verb is "watch." The past participle of "watch" is "watched." So, the passive form of the sentence is "A cartoon film is being watched by Praveen."

The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the passive sentence before the verb and removing the word "by." In this case, the subject of the passive sentence is "Praveen," and the verb is "watch." So, the active form of the sentence is "Praveen is watching a cartoon film."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Praveen would like to watch a cartoon film. This sentence is in the present tense, but the action of watching a cartoon film is not happening now.
  • Praveen had been watching a cartoon film. This sentence is in the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past before another action happened. However, in this case, the action of watching a cartoon film is not relevant to the present.
  • Praveen is watched a cartoon film. This sentence is grammatically incorrect. The verb "watch" is not used in the passive voice in the present tense. The correct form is "watches."
  • Praveen is watching a cartoon film. This is the correct active voice form of the sentence.
