Test: Transformation of Sentences - Year 9 MCQ

In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. In this sentence, the subject is "the students" and the verb is "were given." The agent (the person or thing that performs the action) is "the teacher," who is introduced with "by."

In the active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb. In this sentence, the subject is "my grandmother" and the verb is "baked."

To form the negative form of a sentence in the present perfect tense, we use "not" after the auxiliary verb "have."

To form a question in the present tense, we invert the subject and the auxiliary verb "is."

To form a negative interrogative sentence in the present perfect tense, we invert the subject and the auxiliary verb "have," and add "not" after the auxiliary verb.

A complex sentence has one independent clause (a complete sentence) and one or more dependent clauses (incomplete sentences). In this sentence, the two independent clauses can be combined using a coordinating conjunction "so" to show the cause and effect relationship between the two events.

To combine the sentences "He likes ice cream" and "He dislikes chocolate" into a compound sentence, you need to use a coordinating conjunction that appropriately connects the contrasting ideas.

The correct choice is:

1. He likes ice cream, but he dislikes chocolate.

A simple sentence has one independent clause (a complete sentence). In this sentence, the dependent clause "Because it was raining" can be removed, leaving only the independent clause "We stayed inside."

A compound-complex sentence has two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. In this sentence, the dependent clause "After I go to the store and buy some milk" can be added to the independent clause "I will come back home" to create a compound-complex sentence.

An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotion or surprise. In this sentence, the exclamation mark at the end indicates that it is an exclamatory sentence.
