People speak English all over the world.

English is spoken all over the world.
English was spoken all over the world.
English was spoken by people.
English is spoken by people.

The correct answer is: D. English is spoken by people all over the world.

  • A. English is spoken all over the world. This is a passive sentence, which means that the focus is on the action (English is spoken) rather than the agent (who is speaking English). In this case, the agent is “people,” so the correct sentence should be “People speak English all over the world.”
  • B. English was spoken all over the world. This is a past tense sentence, which means that it is referring to a time in the past when English was spoken all over the world. However, the question is asking about the present, so the correct sentence should be in the present tense.
  • C. English was spoken by people. This is a passive sentence, and it is also in the past tense. As mentioned above, the question is asking about the present, so the correct sentence should be in the present tense and should have an active voice.
  • D. English is spoken by people all over the world. This is an active sentence, and it is in the present tense. It is also the only sentence that includes the agent (people) who are speaking English. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
