Question

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
"These toys were made by my uncle."

A.

My uncle was making these toys.

B.

My uncle made these toys.

C.

My uncles have made these toys.

D.

My uncle had made these toys.

Correct option is B


To convert a passive voice sentence into active voice, we need to follow the structural transformation by identifying the subject, verb, and object:
· Passive Voice: "These toys were made by my uncle."
· Active Voice Format: "[Subject] + [Verb] + [Object]"
· Identified Components:
· Subject: "My uncle"
· Verb: "made"
· Object: "these toys"
Thus, the correct active voice form is:
"My uncle made these toys."Option (b) is the correct answer.
Other options:
· Option (a) "My uncle was making these toys." → Incorrect because "was making" (past continuous tense) changes the tense of the original sentence.
· Option (c) "My uncles have made these toys." → Incorrect because "have made" (present perfect tense) does not match the past simple tense in the passive sentence.
· Option (d) "My uncle had made these toys." → Incorrect because "had made" (past perfect tense) does not align with the past simple tense of "were made."
The original sentence is in the simple past passive voice, so the correct active voice should also be in the simple past. Thus, "My uncle made these toys" is the best answer.
This transformation ensures that the sentence retains its meaning, tense, and logical structure. Passive voice is commonly used to emphasize the object (toys), but when shifting to active voice, we refocus on the doer of the action (my uncle).
