Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
"She sang a beautiful song."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: A beautiful song was sung by her.
Explanation
• The given sentence is in the Simple Past Tense (Subject + V2 + Object).
• Active Voice structure: Subject + V2 (sang) + Object (a beautiful song)
• Passive Voice structure: Object + was/were + V3 (past participle) + by + Subject
• Since the object "a beautiful song" is singular, it takes the auxiliary verb was followed by the third form of the verb (sung).
• The subjective pronoun "She" changes into the objective form "her".
Quick Tip: In passive voice, the simple past tense always changes to was/were + V3.
