Select three rules to form the passive voice!

• We form the passive voice with be + past participle

• We use the passive voice to say what someone or something does. Normally, we say who does the action

• We use the passive infinitive (be done) after: modal verbs, be going to and verbs followed by to (want to, need to...)

• We use the passive voice to say what happens to someone or something. Normally, we avoid saying who did the action.

Select the correct structure for the passive perfect sentence

The audience had been made to wait too long

• had/has-have + been + verb in past participle

• had/has-have + been + verb in past

• had/has-have + to be + verb in past participle

• been + had/has-have + verb in past
