Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
Were you sent summons by the court?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Did the court send you summons?
Passive form: Were you sent summons by the court?
- The given sentence is an interrogative sentence, where, 'was/were + past participle i.e. sent' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'did or V1 + -s/es i.e. send'. (Active to passive voice rule for Simple Past tense.)
- Now, simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
- Remove the preposition 'by' when converting passive to active voice.
The active form will be: Did the court send you summons?
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Did the court send you summons?
