4."Mr. Wong's car has given his car tocar to his daughter." does not make sense. It should be
".Mr. Wong has given his car to his daughter." This sentence has "his car" as the direct object and "his daughter" the indirect object. It can be converted to passive voice in two ways:

My thanks to TOMING88's comments. Although I don't agree to "(4)Mr. Wong's daughter has been given (to her) his car by him." because "to her" is redundant, it led me to have another look at the original sentences.

Thx all ! Thank you so much!

Hi Joshua, you know what, I am going to surprise you...

When you said hi to me here, I was just looking for YOUR post earlier in which Godfrey was mistreated.

I am thinking if I should report myself, but looking at the comments there, those are very nice comments, so I still haven't decided.

The world is full of coincidence~

Also I re-read some of the earlier posts and I found more unfair mysteries related to some of our friends, like Lily, you, Veronica, Cilla Lee, abc, and their other identities, etc.
