Question

Tap the verb that correctly completes the given sentence in passive voice.

Active voice: Mother had left a special key.
Passive voice: A special key by mother.

• A. leaves
• B. had been left
• C. have been left
• D. leave

Answer 1

The correct option is B had been left

The correct answer is ‘had been left’. Since this sentence is in the passive voice, we need to highlight that the object is being acted upon by the doer. Hence, the object ‘a special key’ appears first in the sentence. It is followed by the helping verb ‘had’, form of the ‘be’ verb ‘been’, the past participle of ‘leave’ which is ‘left’, the preposition ‘by’ and the subject ‘mother’.
