Answers
Answer:
the given sentence is in active voice, as the subject 'they' performs an action 'didn't give' against the object 'the money'.
To change to passive voice, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa and the word 'by' is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the object. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from active form to passive.
'Subject (They) + verb (didn't give) + indirect object (me) + direct object (the money)' changes to:
'New subject (I) + verb (was not given) + direct object (the money)'
The new object 'by them' is implied.
This can be seen in option D, hence it's the right answer.
The pronoun 'they' is non specific, it does not refer to a particular person. Hence in passive voice it can be implied.
Answer:
(i) He saw a tiger.
A tiger was seen by him.
(ii) Close the door.
The door should be closed by you.
(iii) I gave the baby a doll.
The baby was given a doll by me.
Explanation:
To change a sentence from active to passive voice we have to interchange the position of the subject and object in the sentence. Some sentences have a direct object while some sentences have an indirect object. For sentences having an indirect object, we have to add a suitable object to complete the sentence.
