Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence.

Raman said to his mom, “Why am I bullied in school?”

Options:

Raman asked his mom why he was bullied in school.

Raman asked his mom why he had been bullied in school.

Raman asked his mom why I was bullied in school.

Raman asked his mom why was he bullied in school.

Correct Answer:

Raman asked his mom why he was bullied in school.

Explanation:

The correct active/passive form of the given sentence is Raman asked his mom why he was bullied in school.

The sentence is in the simple present tense, which is used to describe an action that happens regularly or now. The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the sentence before the verb and removing the word "by." In this case, the subject of the sentence is "Raman" and the verb is "ask." So, the active form of the sentence is "Raman asked his mom why he was bullied in school."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Raman said to his mom, “Why am I bullied in school?” This is the original sentence in the active voice.
  • Raman asked his mom why he had been bullied in school.” This is incorrect because the verb "had been" is in the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past and is still relevant to the present. The sentence is about an action that is happening now.
  • Raman asked his mom why I was bullied in school.” This is incorrect because the word "I" refers to the speaker, but the speaker is Raman.
  • Raman asked his mom why was he bullied in school.” This is incorrect because the verb "was" is in the past tense, but the sentence is about an action that is happening now.
