He bought a new car.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'is bought' शुद्ध passive है। परंतु 'is' वर्तमान है, जबकि 'bought' भूतकाल है।'is bought' is a proper passive. But 'is' is present, while 'bought' is the past.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'has been bought' पूर्ण passive है। परंतु यह present perfect है, simple past नहीं।'has been bought' is a full passive. But it is the present perfect, not the simple past.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'had bought' past रूप जैसा लगा। परंतु 'been' के बिना यह active past perfect है, अतः passive नहीं बनता।'had bought' looks like a past form. But without 'been' it is an active past perfect, so no passive is formed.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) A new car was bought by him.
Bought simple past है, अतः passive was / were + V3 होगा। A new car एकवचन है: was bought।
Concept: simple past passive = was / were + V3।
✓
A new car was bought by him.
'is bought' वर्तमान है, 'has been bought' present perfect है, और 'had bought' में been नहीं है, इसलिए वह passive नहीं है।
सरल अर्थ: उसने एक नई कार खरीदी।
Bought is the simple past, so the passive is was / were + V3. A new car is singular: was bought.
Concept: simple past passive = was / were + V3.
✓
A new car was bought by him.
'is bought' is present, 'has been bought' is the present perfect, and 'had bought' has no been, so it is not passive.
