- The given sentence is in Passive Voice. It is in Simple Past Tense. As per the given question we have to change it into Active Voice.
- The structure of Simple Past Tense is as follows:
- Subject + V2 + Object. (Active Voice)
- Subject (objective case)+ was/were + V3 + Object (subjective case). (Passive Voice)
- In the passive voice, the subject is "I" and the object is "staff."
- So, in the active voice, the subject would be "staff" and the object would be "me."
- 'Was kept' will be changed into 'kept.'
