What would be the passive form of 'Shut the Window?'
Question

What would be the passive form of 'Shut the Window?'

A.

I will shut the window. 

B.

Window was shut.

C.

Let the window be shut.

D.

Shut the window.

Correct option is C

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. Let the window be shut.

The given sentence "Shut the window" is an imperative sentence in the active voice.

When converting it into passive voice, the structure for imperative sentences typically follows the formula: Let + object + be + past participle of the verb.

Thus, the passive form of "Shut the window" is "Let the window be shut."

Information Booster:

In passive voice, for imperative sentences, the construction is usually: Let + object + be + past participle. This changes the command into a request or suggestion.

"Shut" in the active voice becomes "shut" in the passive voice, as "shut" is an irregular verb whose form remains the same in both the present and past tense.

Additional Knowledge:

I will shut the window is incorrect because it is not in the passive voice and instead changes the sentence to future tense.

Window was shut is incorrect because it is in the past tense, and the original sentence is in the imperative mood, which requires a specific passive construction.

Shut the window is incorrect because it is the original sentence in active voice, not in passive form.
