Question

Change the following sentence into passive voice :

They play handball.

• A. Handball are played by them.
• B. Handball were played by them.
• C. Handball is played by them.
• D. Handball was played by them.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Handball is played by them.

The statement is in Simple Present tense; For converting it to passive voice 'Handball' is made the subject; the auxiliary verb following it should be singular since it is a singular subject; so 'play' is changed to 'is played' and the doer is introduced by preposition 'by'; so the correct answer is 'Handball is played by them.'
