Please help.

1: I focused my eyes on the ant.

2: My eyes were focused on the ant.


1: He focused me on the task.

2: I was focused on the task.


Are all these sentences correct? I believe they are all correct by sentence structure but the no.1 of the second sentence seems odd but it’s correct right? First ones are active and second ones are passive.

anonymous 1: I focused my eyes on the ant. This does not work because we cannot directly control the focus of our eyes. You can say that you focused on the ant, meaning you gave it your full attention.
