Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice. These toys were made by my uncle.
The given sentence "These toys were made by my uncle" is in passive voice. To change it to active voice, we need to identify the subject and the verb. In the passive sentence, "toys" is the subject, "were made" is the passive verb, and "my uncle" is the agent of the action.
In active voice, the subject performs the action. Therefore, we need to make "my uncle" the subject of the sentence. The past tense verb "made" correctly reflects the action completed in the past. The correct active voice sentence is therefore: "My uncle made these toys."
Let's examine why the other options are incorrect:
- Option 1: My uncle was making these toys. This implies the action was ongoing, not completed.
- Option 3: My uncles have made these toys. This uses the present perfect tense, suggesting the action may have happened at some point in the past up to the present, and potentially implying multiple uncles. The original sentence implied a single uncle completing the action in the past.
- Option 4: My uncle had made these toys. This uses the past perfect tense, implying the action happened before another past event. The original sentence doesn't provide context for this.
Only option 2 accurately reflects the original meaning in a concise and grammatically correct active voice sentence.
