Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence.

Swapnil said, “Oh My God! I lost all of my money.

Options:

Swapnil exclaimed with joy that he had lost all of his money.

Swapnil exclaimed that he had lost all of his money.

Swapnil exclaimed with sorrow that he had loose all of his money.

Swapnil exclaimed with sorrow that he had lost all of his money.

Correct Answer:

Swapnil exclaimed with sorrow that he had lost all of his money.

Explanation:

The correct active/passive form of the given sentence is Swapnil exclaimed with sorrow that he had lost all of his money.

The sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past. The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the sentence before the verb and removing the word "by." In this case, the subject of the sentence is "Swapnil" and the verb is "exclaim." So, the active form of the sentence is "Swapnil exclaimed with sorrow that he had lost all of his money."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Swapnil exclaimed with joy that he had lost all of his money." This is incorrect because the sentence expresses sorrow, not joy.
  • Swapnil exclaimed that he had loose all of his money." This is incorrect because the word "loose" should be "lost."
  • Swapnil exclaimed with sorrow that he had loosed all of his money." This is incorrect because the word "loosed" is not a verb. The correct verb is "lost."
