Directions: Complete the sentences in passive voice (Present or Past) ...
**Explanation:**
The given sentence is in the active voice: "They didn't go to the party." To change it into the passive voice, we need to focus on the object of the sentence, which is "the party," and make it the subject of the passive sentence.
**Steps to convert the sentence into passive voice:**
1. Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence:
- Subject: They
- Verb: didn't go
- Object: the party
2. Move the object (the party) to the beginning of the sentence and make it the subject.
- The party didn't go
3. Add the auxiliary verb "be" according to the tense of the active sentence:
- The party wasn't
4. Use the past participle form of the main verb (invite):
- The party wasn't invited
5. Add the by-phrase (optional) to mention who performed the action. In this case, it is not necessary to include the by-phrase because it is not specified who didn't invite them.
Therefore, the correct passive voice sentence is: "The party wasn't invited."
**Explanation of the options:**
a) arent invited - This option is in the present tense and does not match the tense of the original sentence.
b) werent invited - This option is in the past tense and matches the tense of the original sentence. It correctly conveys that they were not invited to the party.
c) will not be invited - This option is in the future tense and does not match the tense of the original sentence.
d) is not invited - This option is in the present tense and does not match the tense of the original sentence. Additionally, the subject "is" does not agree with the plural subject "they."
Therefore, option 'B' (werent invited) is the correct answer as it accurately conveys the passive voice of the given sentence in the past tense.
