Hello!
There were 2 sentences that I just couldn't get the answer!
The bold sentences are the ones that should be passed into the passive voice.
I was very grateful to the fire service for giving me the opportunity.
I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE LIKE THIS: the opportunity was given to me by the fire service.
HOWEVER, the answer sheet says:
To be given the opportunity by the fire service / for being given the opportunity by.../ for having been given...
ANOTHER SENTENCE:
Above all, firefighters need to be calm.It's easy for the situation to overwhelm you.
I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE LIKE THIS: you were overwhelmed by the situation.
HOWEVER, the answer sheet says:
To be overwhelmed by the situation
I really don't know the "mechanics" behind this changing...I know it might be a dumb question but I rather know it than not asking.
Can anyone help?
Thx in advance!
Anyone?Please, help!
