Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is The new blanket feels soft.
- In an assertive sentence, if the verb is followed by an adjective, the structure of passive voice is:
- Subject + verb (according to tense & number) + adjective + when + pronoun (according to number) + helping verb + V3 (main verb)
- Example:
- The medicine tastes bitter. (Active)
The medicine is bitter when it is tasted. (Passive)
- Rose smells sweet. (Active)
Rose is sweet when it is smelt. (Passive)
