Question

He is known to be a kind man​

Answer 1

Answer: Everyone knew him to be a kind man.

Explanation:

The given sentence “He was known to be a kind man” is in passive voice.

The object of this sentence is not explicitly mentioned but it known as “everyone”. So, the active voice will have the subject as “Everyone” followed by the simple past tense form of the verb used in the sentence.

In this case, the verb is given as “was known” in passive voice so, the active voice should be in past tense and the verb should be “known”.
