Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
The task is to change the given sentence from Active Voice to Passive Voice. The sentence is in the Simple Present Tense.
Step 2: Key Concepts for Conversion:
The rules for changing from Active to Passive Voice are:
The object of the active sentence ('him') becomes the subject of the passive sentence ('He').
The subject of the active sentence ('I') becomes the object of the passive sentence ('me').
The main verb is changed to its past participle form (V3). Here, 'know' becomes 'known'.
An appropriate auxiliary verb is used before the main verb. For Simple Present Tense, 'is/am/are' is used. With 'He', we use 'is'.
The preposition 'by' is typically used before the new object. However, the verb 'know' is an exception and takes the preposition 'to'.
Step 3: Applying the Rules:
Active Voice: I know him well.
Subject: I, Verb: know, Object: him.
The new subject is 'He'.
The verb form becomes 'is known'.
The new object is 'to me'.
The adverb 'well' is placed appropriately.
Passive Voice: He is well known to me.
