Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.


Shalu has ordered new copies of the album.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. New copies of the album have been ordered by Shalu.

 

To convert the given statement into its passive form, the following rules should be followed:

  • Identify the subject, verb, and object of the given sentence. In this case, the subject is "Shalu," the verb is "has ordered," and the object is "new copies of the album."

  • Move the object of the sentence to the beginning of the new sentence, and make it the new subject. In this case, "new copies of the album" becomes the subject of the new sentence.

  • Add the auxiliary verb "be" in the same tense as the original verb. In this case, since the original verb is in the present perfect tense, we will use "have been."

  • Add the past participle of the original verb. In this case, the past participle of "ordered" is "ordered."

  • Add the preposition "by" followed by the doer of the action, if known. In this case, the doer of the action is not specified, so we will omit this part of the passive sentence.

The correct sentence is:

"New copies of the album have been ordered by Shalu."
