Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Identify and choose the correct Passive Voice form of the following sentence.

They asked me my name :

Options:

They never asked her any name.

I was asked my name.

They were asked my name.

I never ask his name.

Correct Answer:

I was asked my name.

Explanation:
 The correct passive voice form of the sentence "They asked me my name" is: I was asked my name.

Here's why:

  • The original sentence is in the active voice, where "They" is the subject performing the action (asking), and "me" is the object being acted upon (the one being asked).
  • To convert it to the passive voice, we need to:
    • Make the object ("me") the subject of the sentence.
    • Use the auxiliary verb "was" (past tense of "to be") in the same tense as the original verb ("asked").
    • Add the past participle of the verb ("asked").

Therefore, "I was asked my name" accurately reflects the original meaning in the passive voice format.
