Test: Voice- 1 - Class 7 MCQ

The given sentence "They may win the battle" is in the active voice. To convert it into the passive voice, we need to focus on the verb "win" and change the subject "They" into the object.
The correct passive voice options are:
A: The battle may be win. (Incorrect - Incorrect verb form)
B: The battle may be won. (Correct - The verb "win" is changed to "won" in the past participle form)
C: The battle may be won by them. (Correct - Includes the agent "by them" who performs the action)
D: The battle may won. (Incorrect - Missing auxiliary verb "be")
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "The battle may be won."

The given sentence "We must have obeyed our teachers" is in the active voice. To convert it into the passive voice, we need to identify the subject, verb, and object of the active sentence.
Subject: We
Verb: must have obeyed
Object: our teachers
To convert the sentence into the passive voice, we need to make the object the subject of the sentence and use the past participle form of the verb.
Option A: Our teachers might have obeyed.
This option is incorrect because it does not maintain the meaning of the original sentence. It suggests that the teachers might have obeyed someone else.
Option B: Our teachers might have been obeyed.
This option is incorrect because it uses the wrong verb form. "Been obeyed" suggests a continuous action, which does not fit the meaning of the original sentence.
Option C: Our teachers must have been obeyed.
This option is correct. It maintains the meaning of the original sentence and correctly uses the past participle form of the verb. It suggests that our teachers were the ones being obeyed.
Option D: Our teachers must have obeyed.
This option is incorrect because it maintains the active voice of the original sentence. It suggests that our teachers were the ones doing the obeying.
Therefore, the correct option is C: Our teachers must have been obeyed.

In grammar, there are two ways of expressing a subject, active voice and passive voice. Active voice describes the action of the subject as performed by him/her on object. Passive voice, on the other hand, is when object is acted upon a verb. Usually, to change the voice, subject and object will be interchanged. However, ‘our’ already includes ‘we’. It is not required in passive voice because it is understood.

Modal verb (here, ought to) remains the same while changing the sentence into the active/passive voice. Also, in case of modal verbs with past participle form (have), ‘been’ is added in passive voice. Thus, the following structure should be used:
object + ought to + have + been + verb’s 3rd form + by + subject.
‘Our environment ought to have been saved’ is the correct answer.

 

The given sentence, "There is nothing to do," is in the active voice. To convert it into the passive voice, we need to identify the subject, verb, and object in the sentence.
Subject: "There"
Verb: "is"
Object: "nothing to do"
To change the sentence into the passive voice, we need to use the verb "to be" in the corresponding tense, followed by the past participle form of the main verb.
The correct passive voice option for the given sentence is:
Option B: There is nothing to be done.
Explanation:
- The subject "There" remains the same in the passive voice.
- The verb "is" is changed to "is" (corresponding tense) in the passive voice.
- The object "nothing to do" is changed to "nothing to be done" in the passive voice, with the main verb "done" in its past participle form.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A: "There was nothing to be done" uses the past tense "was" instead of the present tense "is."
- Option C: "There is nothing to done" does not have the correct form of the verb "to be" in the passive voice.
- Option D: "There is no thing to do" does not have the correct form of the verb "to be" in the passive voice and also adds an unnecessary space between "no" and "thing."
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: There is nothing to be done.

The correct passive/active voice of the given sentence "It is time to learn English" is option B: "It is time for English to be learnt."
Explanation:
Passive voice is used when the subject of the sentence is acted upon by the verb. In the given sentence, the subject "English" is being learnt, so the passive voice is appropriate.
Let's break down the options:
A: It is time to be learnt English.
- This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect verb form "to be learnt."
B: It is time for English to be learnt.
- This option is correct because it uses the correct verb form "to be learnt" in the passive voice.
C: It is time for English to learnt.
- This option is incorrect because it is missing the auxiliary verb "be" in the passive voice.
D: It is time to be learn English.
- This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect verb form "to be learn."
Therefore, option B: "It is time for English to be learnt" is the correct passive voice of the given sentence.

The given sentence is in the active voice, and we need to convert it into the passive voice. Let's analyze the options:
A: He like respect.
This option is not grammatically correct and does not convey the intended meaning.
B: He likes to be respected.
This option correctly converts the sentence into the passive voice, indicating that he wants others to respect him.
C: He like to be respected.
This option is similar to option A and is not grammatically correct.
D: He want to be respected.
This option is grammatically incorrect as it uses "want" instead of "likes" to indicate preference.
Therefore, the correct option is B: He likes to be respected.

The given sentence "Switch on the cooler" is in the active voice, where the subject (you) is performing the action (switching on the cooler). To convert this sentence into the passive voice, the object (cooler) becomes the subject, and the verb is changed to its passive form.
The correct passive/active voice option for the given sentence is:
D: Let the cooler be switched on.
Explanation:
- The subject "you" in the active voice sentence becomes "the cooler" in the passive voice sentence.
- The verb "switch on" in the active voice sentence becomes "be switched on" in the passive voice sentence.
- The phrase "Let" is added at the beginning of the sentence to make it more polite and give an instruction.
Key Points:
- The passive voice is used when the focus is on the object that receives the action.
- In the passive voice, the subject is acted upon by the verb.
- To convert an active voice sentence to the passive voice, the object becomes the subject, and the verb is changed to its passive form.
- The phrase "Let" can be added at the beginning of the passive voice sentence to make it more polite and give an instruction.

The given sentence, "Don't insult the deaf man," is in the active voice. To convert it into the passive voice, we can use the structure "Let + object + be + past participle."
Breaking down the options:
A:

Let the deaf man not be insult.

- This option is grammatically incorrect as it should be "insulted" instead of "insult."
B:

Let the deaf man not be insulted.

- This option correctly converts the active voice into the passive voice. The subject "the deaf man" becomes the object, "be" is added before the past participle "insulted," and "let" indicates a suggestion or permission.
C:

Let the deaf man not insulted.

- This option is grammatically incorrect as it should be "be insulted" instead of "not insulted."
D:

Let deaf man not be insulted.

- This option is missing the article "the" before "deaf man." Also, it should be "the deaf man" to match the original sentence.
Therefore, the correct passive voice of the given sentence is option B: "Let the deaf man not be insulted."

• Help the poor is a command or request.
• To change a command into passive voice, we use the format Let + object + be + past participle.
• In this case, the object is the poor, and the verb help turns into be helped.
• Thus, the correct passive voice version is: Let the poor be helped.
• This format suggests that someone should assist the poor, but it does not mention who should do it.

To determine the correct passive/active voice of the given sentence, we need to understand the difference between passive and active voice.
- Active voice: In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action. The structure of an active voice sentence is Subject + Verb + Object.
- Passive voice: In passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action. The structure of a passive voice sentence is Object + be verb + past participle verb + by + subject.
Let's analyze the given options:
A:

You are ordered to give me a pen.

- This sentence is in the active voice, but it changes the meaning of the original sentence. The original sentence does not mention any order.
B:

You are ought to give me a pen.

- The word "ought" is incorrect in this context. It should be "are" or "should."
C:

You are requested to give me pen.

- This sentence is missing the article "a" before "pen."
D:

You are requested to give me a pen.

- This sentence is in the passive voice and correctly conveys the meaning of the original sentence.
Therefore, the correct option is D: You are requested to give me a pen.
