Change the voice of the given sentence and select the correct option:
He loves himself.

The correct answer is '2' i.e. He is loved by himself.

Key Points

• The given sentence "He loves himself" is in active voice.
• To change the sentence into passive voice, the object ("himself") becomes the subject, and the verb is modified accordingly.
• The structure of the passive voice is Object + Auxiliary Verb (is/was) + Past Participle + By + Subject.
• In this case, "He is loved by himself" is the correct transformation into passive voice.

Correct sentence: He is loved by himself.

Additional Information

• Active Voice:
  • When the subject of a sentence performs the action, the sentence is in active voice.
  • Example: He loves himself.
• Passive Voice:
  • When the subject of a sentence receives the action, the sentence is in passive voice.
  • Example: He is loved by himself.
• Key Transformation Rule:
  • Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active voice sentence.
  • Convert the object into the subject in the passive voice sentence.
  • Use the appropriate auxiliary verb (is, was, etc.) followed by the past participle of the main verb.
  • Add "by" followed by the original subject (optional for reflexive pronouns).
