Key Points
- The given sentence is in the passive voice. We have to change the sentence into the active form.
- The given sentence is written in 'simple past tense' form.
- The structure of these kinds of sentences is:
- Passive Voice: Object + was/were + V3 + by + Subject
- Active Voice: Subject + V2 + Object.
- Let’s see another example:
- Passive voice: Football was played by them.
- Active voice: They played football.
- The object of the given sentence is 'The evil king' and the subject of the given sentence is 'Gandolf, the savior.'
- So, in the active voice, the position of ‘object’ and ‘subject’ will be interchanged and 'by' will be removed.
- Also here, 'was defeated' will be changed into 'defeated.'
Correct Sentence: Gandolf, the savior, defeated the evil king.
