Question

He was hanging the pictures. The correct passive form is :

• A. The pictures were being hanged by him.
• B. The pictures were being hung by him.
• C. The pictures were being hung to
• D. The pictures are being hanged by him.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The pictures were being hung by him.

The passive form of "He was hanging the pictures" is:

"The pictures were being hung by him."

In this passive construction:

- The object of the action ("the pictures") becomes the subject of the sentence.

- The verb "was hanging" is changed to the past continuous passive form "were being hung."

- "By him" shows who is performing the action, though in passive voice, this part can sometimes be omitted if it's not necessary to mention the doer.
