In the following question, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice.

This is the second time I have caught you cheating.

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. You have been caught cheating by me for the second time.

Active voice- Subject + has/have + V3 + Object

Passive voice- Subject + has/have + been + V3 + by agent

  • An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
  • Since 'you' answers 'whom', it is the object of the active voice here which should be the subject in the passive voice.

As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
