SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • English • Q45

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

Priya washes her clothes in the evening.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The clothes are washed by Priya in the evening.

  • Move the object of the active sentence to the beginning of the passive sentence, making it the new subject. Object (her clothes) becomes the new subject: "Her clothes"

  • Keep the original verb (washes), but change it to its passive form. To form the passive verb, you typically use a form of "be" (e.g., is, am, are, was, were) followed by the past participle of the main verb (in this case, "washed").

  • If the original sentence contains a subject (Priya), you can include it in the passive sentence using "by" to show who or what performed the action.

  • Keep the rest of the sentence structure unchanged.

Putting it all together the passive sentence as follows: Her clothes are washed by Priya in the evening.
