Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

Shalu has ordered new copies of the album.

Options:

New copies of the album have being ordered by Shalu.

New copies of the album has been ordered by Shalu.

New copies of the album has been order by Shalu.

New copies of the album have been ordered by Shalu.

Correct Answer:

New copies of the album have been ordered by Shalu.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the given sentence is New copies of the album have been ordered by Shalu.

The active voice of the sentence is "Shalu has ordered new copies of the album." This sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that has happened in the past and is still relevant to the present. The passive voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the active sentence after the verb "to be" and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the subject of the active sentence is "copies" and the main verb is "order." The past participle of "order" is "ordered." So, the passive form of the sentence is "New copies of the album have been ordered by Shalu."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • New copies of the album has being ordered by Shalu." This sentence uses the present progressive passive voice, which is used to describe an action that is happening now but is not finished. However, the action of ordering the copies of the album is not happening now.
  • New copies of the album has been order by Shalu." This sentence uses the wrong form of the past participle of the verb "order." The correct form is "ordered."
  • New copies of the album have been ordering by Shalu." This sentence uses the present progressive passive voice, but the subject of the sentence is plural. The subject of the sentence is "copies," which is singular.
