Default Re: Passive form

1. typo - should be 'tried'

4. check the tenses

5. check - which noun is the verb referring to? What's wrong with it?

6. tenses

7. check that you have actually changed this to passive tense

Perhaps if you do those first, and can learn from those corrections, then you might be able to see any errors in the others yourself.
