I am kept waiting by him
Explanation:
To get to the passive voice:
-
we first need to take the subject (He) and move it to be an object of the sentence (so put it at the end and change the word from He to Him),
-
take what was the object (Me) and move it to be the subject (so putting it at the front of the sentence and changing Me to I),
-
lastly, we need to alter the verb so that it reflects that an action is being taken upon the subject (vs what happens in an active voice sentence where the subject does something). To do that, use a form of the verb "to be".
That takes us from
He keeps me waiting.
to
I am kept waiting by him.
