Grammar - Passive Voice
The tiger caught a fox. Choose the correct passive voice form of the sentence.
Explanation and memory cue
The original sentence "The tiger caught a fox" is in the simple past tense active voice. The correct passive voice transformation for a simple past tense sentence is formed by using "was" or "were" plus the past participle of the verb. Therefore, the correct passive voice form is "A fox was caught by the tiger." Option B correctly reflects this. Option A uses past perfect passive "had been caught," which is not the direct transformation of the simple past active sentence. Options C and D use present tense forms, which are incorrect for this transformation.
