Answer 2

To change the given sentences into passive voice, we need to follow the model "Subject + Verb + Object" to "Object + Verb (be) + Past Participle + (by) + Subject". Let's apply this rule to the two sentences provided:

1. My friend brought me a souvenir from Paris. - I was brought a souvenir from Paris by my friend. - A souvenir was brought to me from Paris by my friend.

2. My little son hasn't told me the truth. - I haven't been told the truth by my little son. - The truth hasn't been told to me by my little son.

In the first passive sentence, "I was brought a souvenir from Paris by my friend," the object "a souvenir from Paris" becomes the subject, and the verb "brought" is changed to "was brought" in the past participle form. The subject "my friend" becomes the object in the passive sentence.

In the second passive sentence, "The truth hasn't been told to me by my little son," the object "the truth" becomes the subject, and the verb "told" is changed to "hasn't been told" in the past participle form. The subject "my little son" becomes the object in the passive sentence.

Note that in both passive sentences, the agent (the doer of the action) is mentioned with the preposition "by" after the past participle verb. However, it is not necessary to include the agent in the sentence.
