    Change the following sentence from Active Voice to Passive Voice. He takes dinner at 8 p.m. everyday.
    Question

    Change the following sentence from Active Voice to Passive Voice.
    He takes dinner at 8 p.m. everyday.

    A.

    Dinner is taken by him at 8 p.m. everyday.

    B.

    Everyday at 8 p.m. dinner was taken by him.

    C.

    At 8 p.m. everyday dinner was taken by him.

    D.

    Dinner is being taken by him at 8 p.m. everyday.

    Correct option is A


    The correct passive voice of the given sentence is (a) Dinner is taken by him at 8 p.m. everyday.
    Detailed Explanation (English):
    • The given sentence expresses a routine/habit (“everyday”), so it is in Simple Present Tense.
    • While changing from active to passive, the tense must remain the same.
    • The object “dinner” becomes the subject in passive voice.
    • Simple Present Passive structure is: is/am/are + V³.
    • “takes” (V¹ with -s) changes to taken (V³).
    • Therefore, “Dinner is taken…” is the correct passive form.
    Grammatical rule used (English):
    • Simple Present (Active): Subject + V¹(s/es) + Object
    • Simple Present (Passive): Object + is/am/are + V³ + by + Subject
    Grammatical rule used (Hindi):
    • Active से Passive बनाते समय tense (काल) नहीं बदलता
    • Simple Present Passive की संरचना: is/am/are + क्रिया का तीसरा रूप (V³)
    • Passive में object को subject बनाया जाता है और कर्ता “by” से आता है।
    Example:
    Active: He writes a letter.
    Passive: A letter is written by him.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    • (b) “was taken” → Simple Past (tense changed)
    • (c) “was taken” → Simple Past (tense changed)
    • (d) “is being taken” → Present Continuous (tense changed)
