Question

Change the voice of the given sentence: I didn't realise that somebody was watching me

• A. I didn't realise that I was being watched.
• B. I didn't realise that I was being watching.
• C. I didn't realised that I was being watched.
• D. I didn't realise that I was been watched.

Hint:

Remember, in passive voice, the subject receives the action and the verb is in its past participle form.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The given sentence is in active voice and needs to be converted to passive voice. The subject "somebody" in the active voice becomes the agent in the passive voice, and "was watching me" becomes "was being watched". Hence, the correct sentence is: "I didn't realise that I was being watched."
\begin{itemize} \item Option (b) I didn't realise that I was being watching: This is incorrect because "being" should be followed by the past participle "watched" in passive voice.
\item Option (c) I didn't realised that I was being watched: "Realised" should be in the base form, "realise", because of the auxiliary verb "did".
\item Option (d) I didn't realise that I was been watched: "Been" is incorrect here. In passive voice, "being" should be used, not "been". \end{itemize}
