Question

Change the following sentence into passive voice :

Alex learned the poem.

• A. The poem was being learned by Alex.
• B. The poem is learned by Alex.
• C. The poem has been learned by Alex.
• D. The poem was learned by Alex.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The poem was learned by Alex.

The statement is in past tense; For converting it to passive voice 'The poem' is made the subject; the auxiliary verb following it should be singular since it is a singular subject; so 'learned' is changed to 'was learned' and the doer is introduced by preposition 'by'; so the correct answer is 'The poem was learned by Alex'.
