Put the verbs in brackets into the correct passive form.
1) A : (The bank robbers/catch) yet?
B : Unfortunately, they're still at large
2) A : Did you get the art book you wanted?
B : No, it (already/sell) when I got to the shop
3) A : I (hurt) by what you said.
B : I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so rude
4) A : Who (Four Dancers/paint) by?
B : Edgar Degas
B : Unfortunately, they're still at large.
Explanation: In this case, the verb "to catch" is in the present perfect tense. To change it to the passive form, we use the helping verb "have" in the passive form, followed by the past participle of the main verb "been caught".
2) A : Was the art book you wanted already sold when you got to the shop?
B : Yes, it was.
Explanation: Here, the verb "to sell" is in the past simple tense. To change it to the passive form, we use the helping verb "was" in the passive form, followed by the past participle of the main verb "sold".
3) A : I was hurt by what you said.
B : I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so rude.
Explanation: The verb "to hurt" is in the past simple tense. To change it to the passive form, we use the helping verb "was" in the passive form, followed by the past participle of the main verb "hurt".
4) A : By whom were the Four Dancers painted?
B : Edgar Degas.
Explanation: The verb "to paint" is in the past simple tense. To change it to the passive form, we use the helping verb "were" in the passive form, followed by the past participle of the main verb "painted". In this case, we also need to use the question word "whom" to indicate the object of the action.
