Instructions
In the following questions, a sentenceis given in active voice. Find the correct passive voice version from the given alternatives.
Solution
- Locate the Subject (somebody), Verb (put out), and Object (light).
- The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
- The tense of the "be" verb must match the tense of the active sentence. (present perfect- has put out)
- The original subject (someone) is introduced with "by" (or dropped if unknown/unimportant), dropped here, since there is an unknown person (somebody)
Using these rules, " The light has been put out." is the right choice.
