Q1. In the following questions, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive Voice. Out of
the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in
Passive/Active Voice.
Who gave you this stunning golden ring?
(a) Who has given you this stunning golden ring?
(b) By whom were you given this stunning golden ring?
(c) By whom were you being given this stunning golden ring?
(d) Who had given you this stunning golden ring?
Ans: b
Sol. Given sentence uses past indefinite tense in active voice. To convert it into passive voice,
follow the given structure — ‘By whom + was/were + object + V3 + complement’.
Since ‘who’ acts as subject, therefore it is changed into ‘by whom’ in objective case.

Q2. In the following questions, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive Voice. Out of
the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in
Passive/Active Voice.
Naveen was told many times to stop talking in the class.
(a) The teacher told Naveen many times to stop talking in the class.
(b) I told Naveen to stop talking many times in the class.
(c) The teacher was telling Naveen not to stop talking in the class.
(d) Naveen told the teacher to stop talking in the class.
Ans: a
Sol. Since the given sentence uses past indefinite tense (was told) in passive voice, therefore
a past verb form (V2) should be used in active voice. The structure
“Sub + V2 + Obj.” is used in past indefinite tense. The subject of active voice becomes the
object in passive voice and vice-versa.

Q3. In the following questions, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive Voice. Out of
the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in
Passive/Active Voice.
Mr. Anderson pushed his invitations beyond the point of politeness.
(a) His invitations beyond the point of politeness were pushed by Mr. Anderson.
(b) His invitations beyond the point of politeness were being pushed by Mr. Anderson.
(c) His invitations beyond the point of politeness was pushed by Mr. Anderson.
(d) His invitations were pushed Mr. Anderson beyond the point of politeness.
Ans: a
Sol. Since the given sentence uses past indefinite tense (pushed i.e. V2) in active voice,
therefore “was/were + V3” should be used in active voice. The subject of active voice becomes
the object in passive voice and vice-versa. Passive voice — Object + was/were + V3 + by
Subject.

Q4. In the following questions, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive Voice. Out of
the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in
Passive/Active Voice.
The master has punished the servant for not submitting the report.
(a) The servant has being punished for not submitting the report by the master.
(b) The servant is being punished for not submitting the report by the master.
(c) The servant has been punished for not submitting the report by the master.
(d) The servant has to be punished for not submitting the report by the master.
Ans: c
Sol. Given sentence uses present perfect tense in active voice. To convert it into passive
voice, change ‘has punished’ into ‘has been punished’. Moreover, change the respective
places of subject and the object. Passive voice — Object + has/have + V3 + by Subject.

Q5. In the following questions, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive Voice. Out of

(b) This issue was to be brought up by the review officer during the meeting.
(c) This issue was being brought by the review officer during the meeting.
(d) This issue was brought up by the review officer during the meeting.
Ans: d
Sol. Since the given sentence uses past indefinite tense (brought up i.e. V2) in active voice,
therefore (was/were + V3) should be used in passive voice. The subject of active voice
becomes the object in passive voice and vice-versa. Passive voice — Object + was/were +
V3 + by Subject.

3 Golden Rules for Active Passive Voice Conversion

To solve these questions instantly, you only need to focus on these three mandatory changes. When you practice the questions in our PDF, check for these rules first!

Rule 1: The Subject-Object Swap

This is the easiest step, but crucial. The main Subject of the Active sentence becomes the Object of the Passive sentence (usually preceded by ‘by’), and the main Object becomes the new Subject.

• Active: The dog chased the cat.
• Passive: The cat was chased by the dog.

Action: Look at the options and immediately eliminate any that fail to swap the subject and object correctly.

Rule 2: The Mandatory V3 (Past Participle)

No matter what the tense is, the main verb in the Passive Voice must always be the Past Participle (V3) form.

• Active: write, wrote, writing
• Passive: written (always V3)

Action: Look at the options and eliminate any that do not use the V3 form for the main action word.

Rule 3: The Auxiliary Verb (Tense Shift) is Key!

This is the most important step! The ‘Be’ verb (is, am, are, was, were, been, being) must change according to the original tense of the sentence. This is where most students get tripped up.

Active Voice Tense	Passive Voice Conversion	Example (Active → Passive)
Simple Present (e.g., writes)	is/am/are + V3	Ram writes -> is written
Present Continuous (e.g., is writing)	is/am/are + being + V3	Ram is writing -> is being written
Present Perfect (e.g., has written)	has/have + been + V3	Ram has written -> has been written
Simple Past (e.g., wrote)	was/were + V3	Ram wrote -> was written

Action: Check the original tense (e.g., ‘is writing’ means Present Continuous). Only the option with the correct matching auxiliary verb (i.e., ‘is being written’) can be the answer.
