  • What don't you understand? Do you know what the passive voice is?

  • I know what it is, but I don't know how to make up a passive voice sentence with the word "award". After being awarded a medal for bravery, he became a local hero. Help me with this one please, I don't understand it. Or what?

    I assume you know that [to] award here is a VERB, meaning to give [a medal, a prize,...]. But the subject here ("he") doesn't give anything - something is given to him (by an unspecified "giver"). Your example could be rephrased as After he was awarded a medal for bravery..., which is also "passive" ("he" is the object of the verb, but the subject - the one who does the awarding - isn't explicitly specified). Does that help?
