Identify and choose the correct Passive Voice form of the following sentence.
They asked me my name :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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.
