Answer 2

Answer:

A pen was given to me by my father.

Explanation:

• In active voice sentences the subject of the sentence is the one doing the action expressed by the verb whereas, in the passive voice, the subject is the person or thing acted on by the action of the verb.
• For Example:

                              William cleaned the kitchen. (Active Voice)

                         The kitchen was cleaned by William. (Passive Voice)

• The given sentence is a simple Past sentence. To convert a simple past active voice sentence we use the following

                                       was/ were  +  being (V3)

      Therefore, the sentence in Passive Voice will be:

                              A pen was given to me by my father.
