To complete the sentences using the correct passive tense, we need to consider the context and the time frame of each action. Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action itself rather than who performs it. Here are the sentences with the verbs in brackets put into the correct passive tense:

  1. A: Who looks after your garden for you?
    B: It is looked after by my brother.
    Explanation: Present Simple Passive is used because the action of looking after the garden is a regular or habitual action.

  2. A: That's a beautiful dress. Where did you buy it?
    B: Actually, it was made for me by my aunt.
    Explanation: Past Simple Passive is appropriate here as the dress was made in the past, and the focus is on the fact that it was made by someone.

  3. A: Have you typed that letter yet, Miss Brown?
    B: It is being typed right now, sir.
    Explanation: Present Continuous Passive is used because the action of typing the letter is happening at the moment of speaking.

  4. A: Did you make the coffee when you got to work this morning?
    B: No, it had already been made by the time I got there.
    Explanation: Past Perfect Passive is used to indicate that the coffee was already made before another past action (getting to work).

  5. A: Are you going to pick up the children today?
    B: No, they are being picked up by Roger. I've already arranged it.
    Explanation: Present Continuous Passive is used because the arrangement has been made for a future action that is part of a current plan.

  6. A: Where is your watch?
    B: I broke it. It is being repaired at the moment.
    Explanation: Present Continuous Passive is used to indicate that the action of repairing the watch is currently in progress.

  7. A: Has the new furniture for my bedroom arrived?
    B: No, it has not been delivered yet.
    Explanation: Present Perfect Passive is appropriate here as it refers to an action that has relevance to the present moment (the furniture is still not delivered).

  8. A: They are building a new sports centre in town.
    B: I know. It will be opened by the mayor next month.
    Explanation: Future Simple Passive is used to describe a planned action that will occur in the future.

These sentences illustrate the use of different passive tenses based on the time frame and context provided.
