Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Changing the sentence to a passive voice. Passive voice depicts a sentence in a way that makes the subject takes action.

1. I have lost my purse => My purse has been lost by me.

2. Changing to indirect speech. Indirect speech is a grammatical style of reporting words spoken or written without directly quoting the speaker or writer.

The teacher said, "The earth is round" => The Teacher said that the earth is round.

3. Changing into one sentence with a relative clause

A relative clause is a clause that is being used to join two sentences together. Hence,

She gave me the thing. I wanted the thing => She gave me the thing that I wanted.
