    Question

    Choose the correct alternative which best expresses the given sentence in Passive voice.
    The teacher informed the students about the picnic.

    A.

    The students were informed about the picnic by the teacher.

    B.

    The students were being informed by the teacher about the picnic.

    C.

    The students informed the teacher about the picnic.

    D.

    The students are being informed about the picnic by the teacher.

    Correct option is A


    · ✔️ The correct passive voice is: The students were informed about the picnic by the teacher.
    Definition of Voice:
    · Active Voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., "Manisha was reading a book").
    · Passive Voice: The action is received by the subject (e.g., "A book was being read by Manisha").
    Explanation:
    · This sentence is in Simple Past Tense – “informed”.
    · Passive form: was/were + V3.
    · “The teacher informed the students” becomes “The students were informed by the teacher”.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Active (Past Simple): Subject + V2 + object
    · Passive (Past Simple): Object + was/were + V3 + by + subject
    Explanation in Hindi:
    · Simple Past Tense में Passive Voice बनाने के लिए "was/were + V3" का प्रयोग होता है।
    · उदाहरण:
    · Active: "He closed the door."
    · Passive: "The door was closed by him."
    Meanings of other options:
    · ❌ (b) “were being informed” – Continuous tense, incorrect here.
    · ❌ (c) Subject-object reversal.
    · ❌ (d) Present continuous – tense mismatch.
