1. 'My uncle looks after me. ' Passive form is -

  • A. I am looking after by my uncle .
  • B. I am looking after by my uncle .
  • C. I am looking after by my uncle .
  • D. I am looking after by my uncle .

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The passive form is: "I am looked after by my uncle". This is because the original sentence is in the present simple tense, so the passive voice uses "am/is/are" + the past participle "looked after". 
  • Original sentence: My uncle looks after me.
  • Subject: My uncle
  • Verb: looks after
  • Object: me
To convert to passive voice:
  1. The object ("me") becomes the subject ("I"). 
  2. The verb changes to the correct form of "to be" + the past participle. Since the original is present simple, it's "am" (because the new subject is "I") and "looked after". 
  3. The original subject ("My uncle") becomes the object of the preposition "by"
