In the active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb, and the object receives the action. In the given sentence, "he" is the subject, and "drink" is the verb. "The coffee" is the object that receives the action.

In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the original subject can be omitted or mentioned in a prepositional phrase with "by." The passive voice is formed by using the past participle of the verb "drink," which is "drunk," and the helping verb "was."

So, in the passive voice, the sentence becomes "Was the coffee drunk by him?" where "the coffee" is the subject, "was drunk" is the passive verb form, and "by him" indicates the doer of the action (the original subject in the active voice).

The indirect speech of given sentence is - Aman said that the girl had been singing.
