Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Priya washes her clothes in the evening.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The clothes are washed by Priya in the evening.
- In the passive voice, the sentence is constructed so that the object of the sentence (her clothes) becomes the subject of the sentence, and the doer of the action (Priya) is either omitted or mentioned as an afterthought.
- The verb "wash" is changed to its past participle form "washed", and the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (in this case "are") is used as an auxiliary verb.
- To convert the given sentence "Priya washes her clothes in the evening" into the passive voice, we need to make the object of the sentence (her clothes) the subject of the sentence and make the subject (Priya) the object of the sentence. Then, we need to use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb "wash".
Thus, the correct form of passive voice is:
The clothes are washed by Priya in the evening.
