Краткий ответ
- The LoveYourBrain foundation was set up by Adam and Kevin Pearce in 2014.
- The new museum was opened by the president last summer.
- The royal gardens were opened to the public in 2002.
- I was given this leather bag by my parents when I went to high school.
Второй правильный вариант: This leather bag was given to me by my parents when I went to high school. - These expensive paintings were given to our local museum.
- The Empire State Building was visited by over three million people last year.
Как это получается
В пассиве объект активного предложения становится подлежащим. Для Past Simple формула такая: was/were + V3, где V3 — третья форма глагола.
- Если подлежащее в пассиве в единственном числе — was, если во множественном — were.
- Исполнителя действия добавляем через by, когда он важен: by the president, by my parents.
- Если исполнитель — общее they или someone, то by them / by someone обычно не пишем.
- Фразовый глагол сохраняет свою часть: set up → was set up.
Проверка сложных мест
- В №1 не потеряй Pearce: в исходном предложении это имя/фамилия.
- В №3 gardens — множественное число, поэтому were opened, а не was opened. И by them не нужно.
- В №4 возможны два пассива, потому что глагол give имеет два дополнения: I was given... и This leather bag was given to me.... Если оставляешь me, предлог to нужен.
- В №5 someone не переводим в by someone: исполнитель неизвестен.
- В №6 здание в единственном числе: was visited.
