Definition of Active and Passive Voice:
· Active Voice: The subject performs the action of the verb.
· Example: Circumstances forced him to accept the menial job.
· Passive Voice: The object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the verb is changed to its past participle (V3) form.
· Example: He was forced by circumstances to accept the menial job.
Explanation:
The given sentence is in active voice:
"Circumstances forced him to accept the menial job."
To change it to passive voice, follow these steps:
1. Identify Subject, Verb, and Object:
· Subject: Circumstances
· Verb: forced
· Object: Him
2. Convert Verb Form (Active → Passive):
· "forced" changes to "was forced"
3. Rewrite in Passive Structure:
· Passive: "He was forced by circumstances to accept the menial job."
Grammatical Rule Used:
Active Structure: Subject + verb (V2) + Object + additional phrase
Passive Structure: Object + was/were + past participle (V3) + by + Subject + additional phrase
Explanation in Hindi:
· Active Voice में: कर्ता (Subject) स्वयं क्रिया करता है।
· उदाहरण: "Circumstances forced him to accept the menial job."
· Passive Voice में: कर्म (Object) मुख्य बन जाता है, और क्रिया का Past Participle (V3) रूप प्रयोग किया जाता है।
· उदाहरण: "He was forced by circumstances to accept the menial job."
