Question

Change the following sentence into the passive form. 'Sheela enjoys reading'.

• A. Reading was enjoyed by Sheela
• B. Reading is enjoyed by Sheela
• C. Reading was being enjoyed by Sheela
• D. Reading is being enjoyed by Sheela

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Reading is enjoyed by Sheela

• Active voice ലെ verb  V1/Verb+s/es വന്നാൽ passive voice ലേക്ക്  മാറ്റുന്ന വിധം:
  Object + is/am/are + V3 + by + subject.
• ഇവിടെ active voice ലെ verb enjoys (V1) ആണ്.
• ഇവിടെ object 'Reading' ആണ്.
• Reading (singular) ആയതു കൊണ്ട് തന്നെ auxiliary verb 'is' വരും.
• അതിനു  ശേഷം enjoy ന്റെ V3 form ആയ enjoyed എഴുതണം.
• അതിനു  ശേഷം by Sheela.

In the active voice, the structure is:

• Subject: Sheela
• Verb: enjoys
• Object: reading

To change this sentence to the passive voice:

1. Active sentence ൻ്റെ ഒബ്ജക്റ്റ് ("reading") passive sentence ൻ്റെ സബ്ജക്റ്റായി മാറുന്നു.
2. "Enjoys" എന്ന ക്രിയ അതിൻ്റെ passive formലേക്ക് മാറ്റേണ്ടതുണ്ട്. "Enjoys" എന്നത് present tense ആയതിനാൽ, passive form "is enjoyed" എന്നായിരിക്കും.
3. The subject of the active sentence ("Sheela") becomes the agent in the passive sentence, introduced by "by."
4. Thus, the sentence in passive voice is: "Reading is enjoyed by Sheela."
