Double Object Rule in Passive Voice
(Active → Passive Voice)
जब एक वाक्य में दो objects हों —
Direct Object (वस्तु) और Indirect Object (व्यक्ति) —
तो उसे Double Object Sentence कहते हैं।
Double Object क्या होता है?
Active Voice में Structure:
Subject + Verb + Indirect Object (person) + Direct Object (thing)
या
Subject + Verb + Direct Object + to/for + Indirect Object
Example (Active):
He gave me a pen
me → Indirect Object (व्यक्ति)
a pen → Direct Object (वस्तु)
Passive Voice का Golden Rule
Double Object वाले वाक्य में Passive Voice के दो सही तरीके बनते हैं।
Passive Voice के दो Forms
Rule 1: Indirect Object को Subject बनाओ (ज्यादा common)
Structure:
Indirect Object + is/was/were + Verb³ + Direct Object
Example:
I was given a pen (by him).
मुझे एक पेन दिया गया।
Rule 2: Direct Object को Subject बनाओ
Structure:
Direct Object + is/was/were + Verb³ + to/for +
Indirect Object
Example:
A pen was given to me (by him).
एक पेन मुझे दिया गया।
Note:
अगर Indirect Object = person हो → to
अगर benefit / help का भाव हो → for
