1 answer
The sentence is written in the passive voice. The subject, Andrew, is not the one performing the action. Instead, the action (starting the car) is happening to him. To fix this, we can shift the sentence to the active voice. For example, "Andrew heard a terrible sound when he started the car." In this sentence, Andrew is the one performing the action (starting the car) and the terrible sound is happening to him. This makes the sentence clearer and more engaging for the reader.
