Answer 1

Resposta:

was,lasted,became,stopped,was,was,watched,are

Explicação:

De modo bem simples, a voz passiva em inglês (passive voice) é formada pelo verbo be acompanhado do past participle do verbo principal. O verbo be pode estar em qualquer tempo verbal. Veja,

This house was built in 1965.

Was the car washed yesterday?

Her office wasn’t painted last month.

A new computer will be bought next month.

Nas sentenças que você acabou de ver, as palavras (verbos) built, washed, painted, ironed e bought estão escritos em suas formas no past participle. Note que antes deles usamos o verbo “be” em uma de suas formas: “was” e “are” (poderia ser ainda is, were, being, been, etc.; depende do que eu quero dizer). Portanto, na voz passiva temos de usar o verbo principal em sua forma no past participle.
