Question

Change the following sentences into passive voice:
Do it.
a)Let it be done.
b)Let’s do it.
c)Let's do it.
d)Let it be done.

Answer 1

Hint: In passive voice the main verb gets its past participle form.

Complete step by step answer:
The only sentence which contains the past participle form of the verb ‘do’ is the sentence in option a. Moreover, the sentence ‘Do it’ is an order whose meaning is only reiterated in option a.

Option b is incorrect because it changes the meaning of the main sentence. While the speaker of the main sentence is ordering someone to do a thing, the author of the sentence in option b is asking the people to accompany him in the work. Similarly, the sentence in option c also conveys a different meaning. The author of the sentence asks someone to allow some other person to do it. So, option c is an incorrect option. The sentence in option d is grammatically incorrect. Hence, it is an incorrect option.

Additional information

Past participle is a form of a verb used sometimes as an adjective and sometimes to change a sentence into its passive voice. The verbs mostly end with ‘n’, ‘ne’, ‘ed’ etc. in their past participle form.


Note: Attention must be given to not change the meaning of the sentence.
