Transform the following sentence into active voice:
The glass was broken.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Active voice: Someone broke the glass.
Explanation:
Identify the Tense: The original sentence "The glass was broken" is in the Passive Voice and simple past tense (was + V3).
Hidden Subject: In many passive sentences, the "doer" (subject) is not mentioned. When converting to Active Voice, you must introduce a vague subject like "someone" or "somebody" to perform the action.
Verb Change: The verb moves from the passive form ("was broken") to the active simple past form ("broke").
