व्याकरण विश्लेषण व नियम:
दिलेले वाक्य: *"The doctor gave him medicine."* (साधा भूतकाळ - Simple Past Tense).
दोन कर्मे (Ditransitive Verb) आणि काळाचा नियम:
`Medicine was given to him.` (साधा भूतकाळ - अगदी बरोबर).
`He was given medicine.` (साधा भूतकाळ - अगदी बरोबर).
Voice चे रूपांतर करताना सर्वात मोठी होणारी चूक म्हणजे 'Tense change' (काळ बदलणे). Direct-Indirect Speech मध्ये काळ भूतकाळात जातो, पण Active-Passive Voice मध्ये काळ कधीही बदलत नाही! `gave` (Simple Past) चे `was given`च राहिले पाहिजे, `has been given` नाही.
Correct Answer: Option 3 (Only (II) and (III) are correct.)
Grammatical Analysis & Transformation Rules:
Given Active Voice sentence: *"The doctor gave him medicine."* (Simple Past Tense).
Rules for Tense Preservation and Ditransitive Passives:
Never confuse Voice rules with Narration (Direct/Indirect) rules! In Voice, the tense NEVER shifts across timeframes. Simple Past (`V2`) strictly transforms into `was/were + V3`, never `has/have been + V3`.
