Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

Was the message given by him?

Options:

Was he given the message?

Does he give the message?

Did he gave the message?

Did he give the message?

Correct Answer:

Did he give the message?

Explanation:

The correct active form of the given sentence is:

☀ Did he give the message?

So, the correct active form is: "Did he give the message?"

The other options and their explanations:

☀ Was he given the message?

  • This option keeps the same meaning as the original sentence, but it is still in the passive voice, not the active voice.

☀ Does he give the message?

  • This option is in the present simple tense, which does not match the past tense used in the original sentence.

☀ Did he gave the message?

  • This option contains a grammatical error. In questions with "did," the main verb should be in its base form (infinitive) without the "-ed" ending. The correct form is "Did he give the message?"
