Find the INDIRECT OBJECT in each sentence, and make it the focus of attention by using it as the subject of a passive sentence. Use the "by phrase" only if necessary. 1. Someone handed Ann a menu at the restaurant. (indirect object = Ann) --> Ann was handed a menu at the restaurant. 2. Indiana University has awarded Peggy a scholarship. 3. Some company paid Fred three hundred dollars in consulting fees. 4. A local advertising company has offered Maria a good job. 5. . They will send you a bill at the end of the month. 6. Someone will give the starving people a week's supply of rice as soon as the supplies arrive in the famine-stricken area.
