Answer 1

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive form is used when the subject is not the one to be emphasized but rather the action itself as well as the object. For example, instead of saying, " He stole my laptop", you say, "My laptop was stolen by him" if it is a Present Simple Tense. Using a Past Continuous Tense you would say, "My Laptop WAS BEING STOLEN by him" instead of, " He was stealing my laptop".

The corrective Passive forms for the following are,

2. John looked back. He thought he WAS BEING FOLLOWED.

3 Last time Tina went clubbing, her phone WAS STOLEN.

4 Police are investigating the robbery but nobody HAS BEEN ARRESTED.

5 As I'm writing this, three suspects ARE BEING QUESTIONED.

6 A press conference WILL BE HELD tomorrow.
