Question

Change into passive voice : A peddler has stolen my books.

• A. My books have been stolen
• B. My books are stolen
• C. My books has been stolen
• D. My books had been stolen

Answer 1

Answer:

A. My books have been stolen

• The active sentence is in the present perfect tense: has + past participle.

• In passive voice, the structure becomes: has/have + been + past participle.

• The object “my books” becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

• Since “books” is plural, we use “have been”, not “has been.”

Active: A peddler has stolen my books.
Passive: My books have been stolen by a peddler.
