Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

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

Sachin said to his father, “When will India host the Olympic games?”

Options:

Sachin asked his father if India would host the Olympic games.

Sachin asked his father when India would host the Olympic games.

Sachin asked his father when India would be hosted the Olympic games.

Sachin asked his father when would India host the Olympic games.

Correct Answer:

Sachin asked his father when India would host the Olympic games.

Explanation:

The correct active/passive form of the given sentence is Sachin asked his father when India would host the Olympic games.

The sentence is in the simple present tense, which is used to describe an action that happens regularly or now. 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 "Sachin" and the verb is "ask." So, the active form of the sentence is "Sachin asked his father when India would host the Olympic games."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Sachin asked his father if India would host the Olympic games.” This is incorrect because the word "if" is used to ask a question about possibility, not a question about time.
  • Sachin asked his father when India would be hosted the Olympic games.” This is incorrect because the verb "be hosted" is in the passive voice, but the subject of the sentence is "India."
  • Sachin asked his father when would India host the Olympic games.” This is incorrect because the word "would" is in the future tense, but the sentence is about an action that is happening now.
