I think there are two reasons that you're not getting many replies:

1) The original "simple" sentences are not very well-written, making them harder to convert to "passive".

2) Some of the examples also don't work well in the passive at all, making it something of a waste of time to convert them.

But you didn't tell me, which is right or false.

Thank you Nightmare85, I will be grateful for you. But does the rest of the sentences are OK. Please hurry, I'm waiting a response form you.

No problem

By the way, I chose the wrong smiley after the a (one).
I think either a or one should be used, not both.

I have the feeling this sentence is messed up:
The police was being pledged to complain to by Peter, after a drunken man collided his car during going to his job.

The being seems wrong to me, but also the complete first structure seems to be weird.
Unfortunately, I don't have any idea here :-(

The rest looks okay to me, at least I'm not seeing any serious mistakes...

Cheers!

This sentence I will ask my father.

 

[Nightmare85]

It's easy, you can just click the "thanks button" when you want to thank someone :-D
Anyway, I hope you will succeed with these sentences.
Feel free to tell us the result.
(I guess it's some homework, but you did a good effort :up

Have a nice day/night as well ;-)

Cheers!

Simple Tense
Peter pledged to complain to the police, after a drunken man collided his car, during going to his job.

Try:
.

Peter said he would complain to the police after a drunken man collided with his car while he was driving to work.
​

I don't know how you an get the passive voice version to work.

 

[Nightmare85]

**Neither a teacher nor a native speaker.**

What about something like:
Active:
Peter said he would complain to the police after a drunken man collided with his car while he was driving to work.
Passive:
Peter said the police would be complained (by him) after a drunken man collided with his car while he was driving to work.
:?:

Active:
Peter said he would tell it the police after a drunken man collided with his car while he was driving to work.
Passive:
Peter said the police would be told (by him) after a drunken man collided with his car while he was driving to work.
:?:

Important: This is more a question than some advice :-D

Cheers!

Try:
Peter said he would complain to the police after a drunken man collided with his car while he was driving to work.

But who was driving to work?

 

[Atchan]

But who was driving to work?

Peter

 

[bertietheblue]

Peter

Can't the drunken man be driving to work?

 

[Nightmare85]

I think we should forget the "with".

Peter said he would complain to the police after a drunken man collided [STRIKE]with[/STRIKE] his car while he was driving to work.

We have already several versions of the sentence, and with should get removed there too.
(Not sure if Ron really wanted to add it; maybe it was just a small mistake.)

Cheers!
