merry Christmas

Answer 2

The principal issued the certificates to the students

EXPLANATION:

The given sentence is in the active voice. Passive voice is of the form ‘The action is performed on the object by the subject’. The active voice is of the form ‘The subject doing an action’.

For example Active voice: She completed the homework. Passive voice: The homework was completed by her. In active voice the subject is followed by a verb followed by the object. In passive voice, the object is followed by a verb followed by the subject.

In the given sentence the subject is not mentioned. But we know that only the principal will issue the certificates. Therefore the principal becomes the subject in the first place followed by issued (verb) followed by the object ‘the students’.
