Select the correct active form.
"He is known to me."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct active form of the sentence "He is known to me" is "I know him."
Explanation:
Subject and Object Swap: In the transformation from passive to active voice, the object of the preposition ("me") becomes the subject ("I"), and the subject of the passive sentence ("He") becomes the object ("him").
Tense Consistency: The original sentence uses the present simple passive form ("is known"). Therefore, the active form must also be in the present simple tense ("know").
Preposition Change: While most passive sentences use "by," the verb "known" is followed by the preposition "to" in its passive form. When converted back to active, the preposition is dropped.
