Step-by-step solution for: Active and Passive Voice Worksheets with Answers in English
To rewrite the sentences in Passive Voice, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject and the object in the active sentence.
2. Make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence.
3. Use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
4. Optionally, include the agent (the original subject) using "by."
Let's rewrite each sentence step by step:
---
- Active: Subject = The cat, Verb = chased, Object = a mouse.
- Passive: Object (a mouse) becomes the subject. Use "was" (past tense of "be") + "chased."
- Sentence: A mouse was chased by the cat.
---
- Active: Subject = She, Verb = bakes, Object = cookies.
- Passive: Object (cookies) becomes the subject. Use "are" (present tense of "be") + "baked."
- Sentence: Cookies are baked by her.
---
- Active: Subject = Birds, Verb = sing.
- Note: This sentence doesn't have a clear object, so it cannot be easily converted to passive voice without adding context. However, if we assume an implied object like "songs," we can write:
- Sentence: Songs are sung by birds in the morning.
---
- Active: Subject = The sun, Verb = shines.
- Note: This sentence doesn't have a clear object, so it cannot be easily converted to passive voice without adding context. However, if we assume an implied object like "light," we can write:
- Sentence: Light is shone brightly by the sun.
---
- Active: Subject = I, Verb = love, Object = ice cream.
- Passive: Object (ice cream) becomes the subject. Use "is" (present tense of "be") + "loved."
- Sentence: Ice cream is loved by me.
---
- Active: Subject = He, Verb = reads, Object = a book.
- Passive: Object (a book) becomes the subject. Use "is" (present tense of "be") + "read."
- Sentence: A book is read by him.
---
- Active: Subject = Flowers, Verb = bloom.
- Note: This sentence doesn't have a clear object, so it cannot be easily converted to passive voice without adding context. However, if we assume an implied object like "flowers blooming," we can write:
- Sentence: Flowering is done by flowers in spring.
---
- Active: Subject = Dogs, Verb = bark.
- Note: This sentence doesn't have a clear object, so it cannot be easily converted to passive voice without adding context. However, if we assume an implied object like "loud barking," we can write:
- Sentence: Loud barking is done by dogs.
---
- Active: Subject = The car, Verb = honks.
- Note: This sentence doesn't have a clear object, so it cannot be easily converted to passive voice without adding context. However, if we assume an implied object like "honking sound," we can write:
- Sentence: A honking sound is made by the car.
---
1. A mouse was chased by the cat.
