Thank you Clive,

Hi again,

No you can't. You have not made your tense correctly at all. The voice (active/passive) is unclear, and your word order is wrong. Try again, if you want to!

Best wishes, Clive

OK, but you need the comma.

Hi BW,

Yes, very good. I'd prefer commas around 'Alan':

On John's birthday, he was driven by his best friend, Alan, to a gentlemen's club.
