Hello,

I need some help with the following question.
My answer is #1, is this corret?
Thank You

Find the sentence with the Active Voice?

#1 The chairman told me that the legislature passed the bill.

#2 I was told by the chairman that the bill was passed by the legislature.

#1 The action (to tell) is taken by the subject of the sentence (the chairman)

Exactly right! good job!

To determine whether the sentence has active or passive voice, you need to identify the subject and the object of the sentence. In an active voice sentence, the subject performs the action, while in a passive voice sentence, the subject receives the action.

Now, let's analyze the two given sentences:

#1 The chairman told me that the legislature passed the bill.

In this sentence, "the chairman" is the subject, and "passed the bill" is the action. The sentence is in active voice because the subject (the chairman) is performing the action (told). Therefore, sentence #1 is in active voice.

#2 I was told by the chairman that the bill was passed by the legislature.

In this sentence, "I" is the subject, but it is not performing any action. Instead, it is the receiver of the action "was told." Additionally, "the bill" is also not performing an action; it is being acted upon ("was passed"). This sentence is in the passive voice because the subject is receiving the action.

Based on this analysis, your answer of #1 is correct. Sentence #1 is the active voice sentence.
