Объяснение

В этом упражнении необходимо составить вопросы с When (когда?) или Where (где?), используя страдательный залог (Passive Voice).

В Passive Voice внимание уделяется предмету или человеку, над которым совершается действие, а не тому, кто его выполняет.

В зависимости от времени используются следующие конструкции:

- Present Simple Passive: When/Where + am/is/are + V3? Пример: Where are motor cars made?

- Past Simple Passive: When/Where + was/were + V3? Пример: When was the road repaired?

- Future Simple Passive: When/Where + will + подлежащее + be + V3? Пример: When will his novel be published?

Здесь V3 — третья форма глагола (Past Participle).

Обратите внимание на предложение № 9: Where was he spoken about? Предлог about сохраняется после глагола, поскольку исходная конструкция — speak about somebody.

Таким образом, во всех девяти предложениях вопросы построены в Passive Voice с сохранением времени исходного предложения.
