  22. Don't you think the passive form of the sentence "Granny told us an interesting" story must be "we were told an interesting story by granny"

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. This passive form is equally correct. Note the active sentence has two objects.

  25. Hello!I am a student of class 9.All the questions and answers are satisfactory... But I have a doubt in question 1 ,part 16.
    Will the answer be "The king was was crowned" or "He was crowned the king by the people"?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Both are correct but the first one is the preferred one. People crown the king. 'By the people' is hidden here and is understood. Another example is 'Radhey was arrested.' It is understood that police arrested him, hence silent.
