Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
He has downloaded the movie on his phone.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The movie has been downloaded by him on his phone.

 

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 "he," the verb is "has downloaded," and the object is "the movie."

  • Move the object of the sentence to the beginning of the new sentence, and make it the new subject. In this case, "the movie" 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 "has been."

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

  • 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.

Thus, the most appropriate passive form of the given statement is:

"The movie has been downloaded by him on his phone."
