Question

I saw him cross the road. (change in to passive)

Answer 1

Answer:

He was seen by me crossing the road

Answer 2

He was seen to cross the road by me.

The above sentence is in the active voice. In the solution, the voice has been changed to that of a passive voice.

While making these changes a few things are to be kept in mind. There are as follows-

• There is usually an addition of the word 'by' when a sentence is in the passive voice.
• It is usually placed towards the end of the sentence, before the subject.
• However, this can be avoided only when the subject can be easily assumed or guessed.
• The meaning of the sentence should be left untouched.
