SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 16

SSC CGL - 19 April 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q16

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

I have been informed of their decision.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. They have informed me of their decision.

The subject of the passive voice will become an object in the active voice of the sentence.

  • The structure of the given passive voice is: Object + have been+ V3+ by + Subject 
  • The structure of the active voice is: Subject + have + V3 + Object
    • While converting a passive voice of the present perfect tense into an active voice, we do not use a past participle.
    • Thus, been will be removed from the sentence.

Thus, the correct form of an active voice  sentence is:

They have informed me of their decision.
