Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

He invited me to his place yesterday.

Options:

I invited to his place yesterday.

I was invited.

I was invited by him to his place yesterday.

To his place I was invited yesterday.

Correct Answer:

I was invited by him to his place yesterday.

Explanation:

The option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice is: I was invited by him to his place yesterday.

In the active voice sentence "He invited me to his place yesterday," the subject "He" is performing the action of inviting, and the object "me" is receiving the action.

When converting this sentence into passive voice, the object becomes the subject, and the subject may become the agent (or it may be omitted). The verb "invited" changes to its passive form, "was invited," and the agent (the person or thing that performs the action) is introduced using "by."

So, "I was invited by him to his place yesterday" is the correct passive voice construction of the given active voice sentence. It maintains the same meaning but changes the structure to emphasize the receiver of the action rather than the doer.
