VOILA LA SOLUTION DE CE EXERCICE

Bonjour,

Réponse :

1) His files weren’t found ( by him )

2) His car was washed on Sunday.

3) The whole room wasn’t painted

4) The old clock was repaired by my grandfather.

5) A lot of photos were taken ( by John ) at the party.

6) The window was broken by Richard.

7) The case was solved by the detective.

8) My bed wasn’t made this morning.

9) The tickets were bought ( by them ) yesterday.

10) The children were driven to school by the Smiths.

( contrairement au français, les noms de famille se mettent au pluriel en anglais )

11) His wallet was stolen.

12) These pyramids were built by slaves.

Explications :

Les phrases sont à la voix active, il faut les mettre au passif

PASSIF = BE( au temps de la voix active ) + participe passé

Ici, toutes les phrases sont au prétérit, on aura donc :

was / were + participe passé

→ Le COD de la voix active devient sujet de la voix passive

→ Le sujet de la voix active devient complément d'agent ( ce complément d'agent est souvent sous-entendu )

Ex:

Actif : Slaves built these pyramids.

        ( Des esclaves ont construit ses pyramides )

Passif : These pyramids were built by slaves.

       ( Ces pyramides ont été construites par des esclaves )
