Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

A traffic policeman fined Taru for jumping the red light.

Options:

A traffic policeman was fined by Taru for jumping the red light.

Taru was fined by a traffic policeman for jumping the red light.

Taru is fined by a traffic policeman for jumping the red light.

Taru has been fined by a traffic policeman for jumping the red light.

Correct Answer:

Taru was fined by a traffic policeman for jumping the red light.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the given sentence is Taru was fined by a traffic policeman for jumping the red light.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • A traffic policeman was fined by Taru for jumping the red light is grammatically incorrect. The subject of the sentence is "a traffic policeman," but the verb "fined" is in the active voice, which means that the subject is doing the action.
  • Taru is fined by a traffic policeman for jumping the red light uses the present tense, while the original sentence describes an event that happened in the past.
  • Taru has been fined by a traffic policeman for jumping the red light uses the present perfect tense, which is not typically used for actions that happen once.
