Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'Luckily, they did not use the machinery.'
Key Point
- Rules to be followed while converting active voice from passive voice :
- Identify the Subject, Verb, and Object in the passive sentence to convert to active voice.
- Interchange the object and subject with each other i.e. subject of the passive sentence becomes the object in an active sentence.
- The past participle (V3) forms in a passive sentence i.e. preceded by (by, with, to, etc) are changed to the base verb in the active sentence.
- 'Them' will be changed to 'they' as it will become the subject of the active voice.
- Structure:
- Passive Voice - Object + was/were + not + V3 + by + Subject.
- Active Voice - Subject + did/do + not + V1 + Object.
- Following the above-mentioned rules, the right active sentence: Luckily, they did not use the machinery.
