Identifying the Subject and Object:
In the given active sentence, "my uncle" is the subject performing the action of promising, and "me" is the object receiving the action of the promise.
Converting to Passive Voice:

Correct Answer:
The correct passive voice transformation of the given sentence is option 'B' - "I was promised a present by my uncle." This maintains the correct subject-object relationship and effectively changes the sentence to passive voice.
Explanation Summary:
By correctly identifying the subject and object, understanding the rules of passive voice transformation, and applying the appropriate changes, the active sentence "My uncle promised me a present" was successfully converted to passive voice as "I was promised a present by my uncle."
Sentences are given in the active voice. Change them into passive voi...
To change the given sentence from active voice to passive voice, we need to focus on the following points:
1. Identify the subject (the person/thing performing the action) and the object (the person/thing receiving the action) in the active sentence.
2. Move the object to the subject position in the passive sentence.
3. Use the appropriate form of the verb "be" in the passive voice.
4. Use the past participle form of the main verb in the passive voice.
5. Add the preposition "by" to indicate the doer of the action (optional).
Active Voice Sentence: My uncle promised me a present.
Passive Voice Options:
A: A present was promised by my uncle to me.
B: I was promised a present by my uncle.
C: I had been promised a present by my uncle.
D: I was promised by my uncle a present.
Explanation:
In this case, option B is the correct passive voice transformation of the given active voice sentence.
- In the active sentence, "my uncle" is the subject, and "me" is the object.
- To transform it into the passive voice, we need to move "me" (the object) to the subject position and use the appropriate form of the verb "be" (was) followed by the past participle form of the main verb "promise" (promised).
- The preposition "by" is used to indicate the doer of the action, which is "my uncle."
Therefore, the correct passive voice transformation is: "I was promised a present by my uncle."
