SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 12

SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q12

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

My friend did not steal my money.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. My money was not stolen by my friend.

My friend did not steal my money.

Object = money, Verb = steal, Subject = Friend

Passive voice form: Object + Verb + Subject

The sentence in passive voice thus becomes: My money(object) was not stolen(verb) by my friend(subject). 

Tip: In the passive voice too, the tense remains the same as in the active voice. There may be a point of confusion here as to why the sentence is in the past tense. Since the act of stealing has already been done, the action itself is in the past. 

Hence, My money was not stolen by my friend is the correct answer.
