Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
His elder sister taught him English.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct passive form of the given sentence is OPTION 3 - He was taught English by his elder sister.
- The original sentence is in the simple past tense ("taught").
- In the passive voice, the object of the active verb becomes the subject. In this case, "him" becomes "he."
- The verb "taught" in the passive voice becomes "was taught" (using the appropriate form of "to be" for the simple past tense).
- The subject of the active verb ("His elder sister") becomes the object of the preposition "by" in the passive voice.
- "English" remains the same as the indirect object.
