Persistent Speech and Voices Quiz-1

Answer - Aman warned her angrily that he should beat her if she didn't keep quiet.


The tone of the sentence is a warning which we can understand from the description given in the sentence 'n an angry voice.'.


The modal verb 'shall' changes to 'should' and the pronouns 'you' changes to 'she' and 'her' according to the required context.

Answer - I said to him,” You are too lazy”.

The use of said is correct here by replacing told to convert from indirect to direct speech. The pronoun 'he' changes to 'you', 'was' changes to 'are'.

Answer - Suhana’s mother said, "Go to the market and buy vegetables."

When converting from indirect to direct speech, the reported verb is generally taken as 'said' unless it is in absolute present tense form. The tone of the sentence is set by the reported speech instead. Here we see that 'asked' is used as the reported verb and we use 'to go' which tells us that the sentence is in imperative form.


Hence we use the simple structure of - Go to the market and buy vegetables.

Answer - Vishaka requested her father to increase her pocket-money.

Requested is used here since the reported speech in the direct sentence uses the term 'Please'.


My changes to her in the indirect speech.

Answer - Neha said, "My sister is getting married."

Here as per the rule of speeches 'her' is changed to 'my', that is removed. The tense also changes where past tense in the indirect speech changes to present tense in the direct speech. So 'was' changes to 'is'.

The passive voice of the given sentence is - I was taken to the mall by my mother.

The tense of the active voice is in simple past tense. So the rule that follows for the passive voice should be -


Simple past tense - Object+ was/were V3+ by + subject

Hence - I + was + taken + to the mall + by + my mother.

he passive voice of the given sentence is - By whom is this film being directed?

As the sentence is in question form and in present continuous tense, the passive voice will take past continuous tense. Since we use the relative pronoun 'WHO' in this active voice, it always changes to 'WHOM' in the passive voice.


In order to convert from active to passive, we also change verbs - is changes to was.

Hence the structure will be - By + Relative pronoun + was / were + being + past participle

So the sentence is - By whom was this film being directed?

The passive voice of the given sentence is - I am greeted cheerfully by my neighbour every day.

As here, the tense of the sentence simple present tense where an activity happens regulary so we do not change the tense of the sentence but the structure.

'I am greeted cheerfully by my neighbour every day.'

The sentence becomes - Crops are grown by Farmers.

The passive voice of the given sentence is - A perfect school has been built by us across the bus stand.

The sentence here is in present perfect tense so, as per the rule of the passive voice the structure is - Obj+has/have been + V3 + by +sub.
