To determine the correct sentence structure for the given statement, "I ate a mango," we need to identify the appropriate verb tense and voice.
The verb tense in the statement is past tense, indicating that the action of eating the mango has already happened. The voice of the sentence should be passive since the focus is on the mango being eaten, rather than the person who ate it.
Among the options provided, the correct answer is B: A mango was eaten by me. Here's why:
Explanation:
- In the given sentence, "I ate a mango," the subject is "I" and the object is "a mango."
- To change the sentence to passive voice, the object "a mango" becomes the subject, and the verb "ate" needs to be changed to its past participle form.
- The correct passive voice sentence would be "A mango was eaten."
- To make it clear who performed the action, we add the prepositional phrase "by me" at the end of the sentence.
- Therefore, the correct sentence in passive voice is "A mango was eaten by me."
Key Points:
- The correct sentence structure is in passive voice.
- The verb "ate" is changed to its past participle form, "eaten."
- The subject "I" becomes the object in the passive voice sentence.
- The prepositional phrase "by me" indicates who performed the action.
