Question

Change the passive voice - The governor gave him a reward

Answer 1

A reward was given to him by the governor.

Answer 2

Answer:

He was given a reward by the Governor. ( Passive voice)

Explanation:

•The subject performs the action of the verb in the active voice of the sentence.

• In the passive voice, the subject is being affected by another performer of verb.

•For eg.Rainku drives the car, for instance, is a statement written in the active voice since Rinku is the subject performing the action. The line changes to , the car is driven by Rinku .When it is written in passive voice, Rinku (subject) is now being acted upon by a different verb performer.

• 1.Here, "him" is the direct

object, which we must first identify. 'He' is the subject of the sentence, thus it begins with "He"

2. followed by a "be" auxiliary verb. Here it will be 'was'.

3. This will be followed by main verb in third form (gave becomes given).

4.Now we add 'by' to show the doer.

So the sentence becomes, He was given a reward by the governor.
