Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
I learnt a great lesson from my failure.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. A great lesson was learnt by me from my failure.
I learnt a great lesson from my failure.
Object = great lesson, Verb = learnt, Subject = I
Passive voice form: Object + Verb + Subject
The sentence in passive voice thus becomes: A great lesson (object) was learnt (verb) by me from my failure.
Tip: In the passive voice too, the tense remains the same as in the active voice unless there is an act performed in the past mentioned in the present tense.
Hence, A great lesson was learnt by me from my failure is the correct answer.
