Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

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

I was fascinated by the movie.

Options:

The movie fascinated me.

The movie was fascinated to me.

The movie fascinate me.

The movie fascinates me .

Correct Answer:

The movie fascinated me.

Explanation:

The correct active voice form of the given sentence "I was fascinated by the movie" is The movie fascinated me.

The sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past. 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 "I" and the main verb is "fascinate." The past participle of "fascinate" is "fascinated." So, the passive form of the sentence is "I was fascinated by the movie."

The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the passive sentence before the verb and removing the word "by." In this case, the subject of the passive sentence is "movie," and the verb is "fascinate." So, the active form of the sentence is "The movie fascinated me."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The movie was fascinated to me." This sentence is in the passive voice, but the preposition "to" is incorrect. The preposition "by" is used to show that the action of fascinating was done by the movie.
  • The movie fascinate me." This sentence is in the present tense, but the action of fascinating happened in the past.
  • The movie fascinates me." This sentence is in the present tense, but the action of fascinating is not happening now.
