In the sentence "I was given an amazing birthday present by my parents." Isn't "an amazing birthday present" the object of the sentence ?
Yet, when we change it to active voice it becomes " My parents gave me an amazing birthday present ".

My friend told me.
If there is no objects in active voice
Then we use DUMMY "IT" as subject in passive voice .

Like this
Active sentences

1 ) He is writting.
2 ) He has told .
3) we hope.
then I Change into passive using DUMMY "IT"

It is being written by him.
It has been told by him .
It is hoped by us .

This rule is correct or incorrect
Please help to understand
