Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
You never hear of a happy billionaire.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A happy billionaire is never heard of.
Grammatical rules being followed:
- To form the passive voice in the present simple tense, the verb "to be" is conjugated to match the subject (a happy billionaire), followed by the past participle of the main verb (hear).
- The agent of the action (you) is omitted in the passive voice.
- Also, note that the passive voice is used to emphasize the action being performed (hearing) and de-emphasize the agent performing the action (you).
Thus, the correct form of passive voice sentence is:
A happy billionaire is never heard of.
