· Active Voice: In active voice, the subject performs the action expressed by the verb. The focus is on the doer of the action.
· Example: We drove him out of the train. (Here, we is the subject performing the action.)
· Passive Voice: In passive voice, the focus shifts to the receiver of the action. The subject receives the action rather than performing it.
· Example: He was driven out of the train. (Here, he receives the action.)
Explanation: The sentence is in simple past tense in active voice ( We drove him out of the train). To convert it into passive voice, we use the structure: Object + was/were + past participle (V3) + by + subject. Therefore, drove (V2) becomes driven (V3) in passive voice.
Grammatical rule used: Active to Passive Voice Conversion (Simple Past Tense):
Active Voice Structure: Subject + V2 (past tense) + Object
Passive Voice Structure: Object + was/were + V3 (past participle) + by + subject
Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi:
साधारण भूतकाल (Simple Past Tense) के वाक्यों को Active से Passive Voice में बदलने के लिए वाक्य संरचना होती है:
Active: कर्ता (Subject) + क्रिया (V2) + कर्म (Object)
Passive: कर्म (Object) + was/were + क्रिया का तीसरा रूप (V3) + by + कर्ता (Subject)
यहाँ drove का तीसरा रूप driven है। इसलिए सही वाक्य होगा: He was driven out of the train.
