Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

The manager explained the latest assignment to Lana.

Options:

The latest assignment was explained to Lana by the manager.

The latest assignment had explained to Lana by the manager.

The latest assignment had been explained to Lana by the manager.

The latest assignment had been explain to Lana by the manage.

Correct Answer:

The latest assignment was explained to Lana by the manager.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the given sentence is:

The latest assignment was explained to Lana by the manager.

So, the correct passive form is: "The latest assignment was explained to Lana by the manager."

The other options and their explanations:

☀ The latest assignment had explained to Lana by the manager.

  • This option is not grammatically correct. In the passive voice, the past participle form of the verb ("explained") should be used, not the base form ("explain").

☀ The latest assignment had been explained to Lana by the manager.

  • This option uses the correct past participle form ("had been explained"), but it introduces a past perfect tense, which does not match the simple past tense of the original sentence.

☀ The latest assignment had been explain to Lana by the manage.

  • This option contains a grammatical error. The correct form is "explained" (past participle) instead of "explain" (base form), and "manager" is misspelled as "manage."
