Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. Mrs. Sandhya teaches us English.
English is taught to us by Mrs. Sandhya.
The given sentence is in active voice: "Mrs. Sandhya teaches us English."
To convert it into passive voice, we need to follow these steps:
- Identify the subject (Mrs. Sandhya), verb (teaches), and object (us English).
- Make the object ("us English") the subject of the passive sentence.
- Use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" + past participle of the main verb ("teaches"). Since the original sentence is in simple present tense, we use "is taught".
- Add "by" + the original subject ("Mrs. Sandhya").
Following these steps, the passive voice sentence becomes: "English is taught to us by Mrs. Sandhya."
Let's examine why the other options are incorrect:
- Option 2 ("English has been taught to us by Mrs. Sandhya.") implies a completed action in the past, which is not indicated in the original sentence.
- Option 3 ("English was being taught to us by Mrs. Sandhya.") indicates an ongoing action in the past, again not reflected in the original sentence.
- Option 4 ("English is being taught to us by Mrs. Sandhya.") suggests an ongoing action in the present, while the original sentence implies a general or habitual action.
Therefore, only option 1 accurately reflects the meaning of the original sentence in passive voice.
