Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

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

I was invited by my aunt.

Options:

My aunt invited me.

My aunt will invite me.

My aunt has invited me.

My aunt is inviting me.

Correct Answer:

My aunt invited me.

Explanation:

The correct active voice of the given sentence is My aunt invited me.

The passive voice of the sentence is I was invited by my aunt. This sentence is in the passive voice, which means that the subject of the sentence is not the one who performed the action. In this case, the subject of the sentence is "I," but the person who invited me is my aunt. The verb "was invited" means that I was the recipient of the invitation. The past participle of the verb "invite" is "invited." So, the passive form of the sentence is I was invited by my aunt.

The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the passive sentence before the verb and removing the verb "to be." In this case, the subject of the passive sentence is "my aunt" and the main verb is "invite." So, the active form of the sentence is My aunt invited me.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • My aunt will invite me. is in the future tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
  • My aunt has invited me. is in the present perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
  • My aunt is inviting me. is in the present progressive tense, which is used to describe an ongoing action. The passive voice of the sentence should be in the simple past tense.
  • My aunt invited me is the most concise and correct active voice of the sentence.
