SSC CGL Tier II - English - 16th Nov 2020 • English • Q54

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

He asked me to sing a song.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. I was asked to sing a song.

Active form: He asked me to sing a song.

Rules for changing Active form to Passive from:

  • Simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
  • Now, convert the main verb into its past participle or third form while converting from active to passive voice.
  • Use the word “by” before the subject in the passive sentence.
  • When we convert this sentence into passive voice, the subject 'He' of the active voice becomes the hidden object 'him', the object 'me' becomes the subject 'I'.

Now, the given sentence is in present perfect tense. When the active form is in "past participle" form then the passive voice should follow the format "was + V3" form.

The passive form will be: I was asked to sing a song.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. I was asked to sing a song.
