FAQs on SSC CGL Previous Year Questions (2023-18): Active Passive - SSC CGL English Previous Year Papers (Topic-wise)

1. What is the difference between active and passive voice?
Ans. In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action, while in passive voice, the subject receives the action. For example, in active voice, "The cat chased the mouse," while in passive voice, "The mouse was chased by the cat."
2. How can I identify if a sentence is in active or passive voice?
Ans. To identify if a sentence is in active or passive voice, look for the subject of the sentence and determine if it is performing the action (active voice) or receiving the action (passive voice).
3. When should I use passive voice in writing?
Ans. Passive voice is often used when the focus is on the action or when the doer is unknown or unimportant. It is also used to avoid blame or to create a formal tone in writing.
4. How can I change a sentence from active to passive voice?
Ans. To change a sentence from active to passive voice, move the object of the active sentence to the beginning of the passive sentence and add a form of "to be" with the past participle of the main verb.
5. Are there any instances where passive voice should be avoided in writing?
Ans. Passive voice should be avoided in writing when it makes the sentence awkward or unclear, when it weakens the impact of the sentence, or when it is overused and affects the readability of the text.
