Active & Passive Voice Questions with Solutions

Voice shows whether the subject of a sentence performs the action (active voice) or receives it (passive voice). In "Riya wrote a letter", Riya performs the action, while in "A letter was written by Riya", the letter receives it. This topic covers converting sentences between active and passive voice across all tenses, as well as questions, imperative sentences, and sentences with modal verbs. The basic method is to swap the subject and object, use the correct form of "be" for the tense, and change the main verb to its past participle. For example, "is writing" becomes "is being written". Imperative sentences use "let" (as in "Let the door be closed") or a form such as "You are requested to". Present perfect continuous and future continuous tenses are not normally converted to the passive. Practise the active and passive voice questions below, each with a step-by-step explanation.
