Question

In which sentence is the action arrow pointing in the correct direction?


<–––––
The children were told to be quiet by the teacher.


––––––>
The children were told to be quiet by the teacher.

Answer 1

The correct sentence with the action arrow indicating the proper direction is:

<–––––
The children were told to be quiet by the teacher.

The arrow pointing to the left (<–––––) correctly indicates that the action is happening to "the children" by "the teacher" (passive voice).
