Question and options
Choose the correct form of PASSIVE VOICE for the following.
They have known him for a long time.
They have known him for a long time.
- He was known by them for a long time.
- He may be known by them for a long time.
- He has been known by them for a long time.
- He is known by them for a long time.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - He has been known by them for a long time.
'Have known' is present perfect, so the passive keeps the present perfect: 'He has been known by them for a long time.' 'Was known' and 'is known' change the tense, and 'may be known' adds a modal that is not in the sentence.
