1. A train was being traveled in by a gentleman, once.
2. He felt thirsty and so, he got down at a station in search of water.
3. He ran but missed the train, didn't he?
4. When it came closer to being the nighttime, he decided to spend the night at the station.
5. He will come to know that the train is on the other day.
1. To change to passive voice, change the sentence so that the subject, 'train', is acted on by the verb, 'traveling', by the object, 'gentleman'. The placement in the sentence of the word 'once', can either be at the beginning of the sentence or at its end.
2. You can directly add an 'and so' after in place of the full stop between both the sentences and they indicate that one action/sentence (he felt thirsty) is the reason why the next action/sentence (he got down at a station in search of water) occurs.
3. Identify the pronoun and the verb clause. The pronoun is 'he' and the verb clause is 'did' (since a verb clause isn't explicitly mentioned and it is in the present tense). So, the question tag becomes: 'didn't he?'.
4. 'It was getting darker' can be re-written to have the same meaning by using: 'When it came closer to being the nighttime'.
5. To change to simple future tense, change the verb form to the simple future tense form, i.e., change 'came' to 'will come'.
