    Choose the correct active form of the given sentence. Geometry is taught to us by Mr. Sam.
    Question

    Choose the correct active form of the given sentence.
    Geometry is taught to us by Mr. Sam.

    A.

    Mr. Sam is teaching us geometry.

    B.

    Mr. Sam has been teaching us geometry.

    C.

    Mr. Sam will teach us geometry

    D.

    Mr. Sam teaches us geometry.

    Correct option is D

    The correct active voice of the given sentence is (d) Mr. Sam teaches us geometry.
    Explanation of conversion:
    · The passive “is taught” is Simple Present Passive (am/is/are + V³).
    · Identify agent: by Mr. Sam → becomes the subject in active.
    · Identify objects: to us (indirect object) and geometry (direct object).
    · Convert to active Simple Present: Mr. Sam (S) + teaches (V1-s) + us (IO) + geometry (DO).
    · Structure:
    · Active voice (ditransitive): Subject + V1(s/es) + Indirect Object + Direct Object
    · Passive voice:
    · Using DO as subject: Direct Object + am/is/are + V³ + (to) Indirect Object + by + Agent
    · Using IO as subject (alternative): Indirect Object + am/is/are + V³ + Direct Object + by + Agent
    · Example:
    · Passive: We are taught English by Ms. Rita. → Active: Ms. Rita teaches us English.
    · Information booster: With verbs that take two objects (give/teach/tell/send), either object can become the subject in the passive (We are taught geometry by Mr. Sam / Geometry is taught to us by Mr. Sam), but when restoring to active, use the agent as subject and keep IO before DO without “to”: teaches us geometry (not teaches to us geometry).
