Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
When is this car driven by you?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. When do you drive this car?
The given sentence is:
'When is this car driven by you?'
This is in the present simple passive voice.
Structure: is + past participle (is driven)
Subject: this car
Agent: you
To convert it into active voice, we:
Make 'you' the subject,
Keep the tense as present simple,
Use the base form of the verb ('drive') with the appropriate auxiliary ('do').
So, the active voice form becomes:
'When do you drive this car?'
Why the other options are incorrect:
When should you drive this car?
- Uses 'should' (modal verb), which changes the meaning to asking about advice or obligation.
When did you drive this car?
- This is past simple tense, but the original sentence is in present tense.
When will you drive this car?
- Future tense — not matching the present tense of the original.
