A new shirt is given to me by my father.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sentence is a correct transformation of the original active voice sentence, &#8220;My father gives me a new shirt,&#8221; into passive voice. In the passive voice, the subject of the active sentence (the &#8220;doer&#8221; of the action) becomes the object, and the object of the active sentence (the receiver of the action) becomes the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s break down the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Subject (Active Voice)<\/strong>: &#8220;My father&#8221; is the subject of the sentence, meaning he is the one doing the action (giving).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Object (Active Voice)<\/strong>: &#8220;A new shirt&#8221; is the object of the sentence, the thing that is being given.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Receiver (Active Voice)<\/strong>: &#8220;Me&#8221; is the receiver of the action, the person who is getting the shirt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To form the passive voice, the object (&#8220;a new shirt&#8221;) moves to the subject position, and the subject (&#8220;my father&#8221;) moves to the end of the sentence after &#8220;by.&#8221; The verb also changes from the simple present tense (&#8220;gives&#8221;) to the appropriate passive form, &#8220;is given.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Active voice<\/strong>: &#8220;My father gives me a new shirt.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passive voice<\/strong>: &#8220;A new shirt is given to me by my father.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s consider why the other options are incorrect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>B. &#8220;A new shirt is give me by my father.&#8221;<\/strong> The verb &#8220;give&#8221; should be in its past participle form, &#8220;given,&#8221; in the passive voice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. &#8220;A new shirt is given by me my father.&#8221;<\/strong> The placement of &#8220;by me&#8221; is incorrect. The passive construction should have &#8220;by my father&#8221; at the end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. &#8220;A new shirt are given me by my father.&#8221;<\/strong> The subject &#8220;A new shirt&#8221; is singular, so the verb should be &#8220;is,&#8221; not &#8220;are.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, option A is the only grammatically correct passive voice transformation of the original sentence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My father gives me a new shirt.
