Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

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

The car was being washed by me.

Options:

I had been washing the car.

I was washing the car.

I did the washing car.

I washed the car.

Correct Answer:

I was washing the car.

Explanation:

The option that expresses the given sentence in active voice is:  I was washing the car.

Active voice sentences are structured so that the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb. In this case, "I" is the subject, and "was washing" is the action being performed by the subject on the object "the car." This sentence is in active voice because the subject is doing the action directly.

"I was washing the car" is the correct active voice counterpart of the given passive voice sentence "The car was being washed by me." It effectively conveys the action of washing the car performed by the subject "I."
