Use the verbs in parentheses in the passive voice (either present or past tense).

Ex. When I came home yesterday, the dinner (already cook) was already cooked for me, so I ate it.

English (speak) is spoken in the United States.

 

1.       Corn (grow) _____________________in Pennsylvania. 

 

2.       The Liberty Place skyscrapers (build) ___________________in the 1980s.

7.       That business (own) ___________________by my neighbors.

Play, played, played

>I have played soccer before.

 

*Iceland exports seafood.  Seafood is exported by Iceland. 

*Horses are ridden in France. 

 

The economy is in a slump = it’s a bad economy. 

Get worse = more bad than now

Recover = return to a good condition

Profits = make more money than you spend

Profits are down = the business is making less money than before

A sharp fall = a sudden and fast drop in something

A steady decline = getting worse slowly but consistently

A bright spot = positive news when most things are negative

 

Questions:

*What has increased dramatically in recent years?

*What is getting worse?

*If you are injured or sick, what do you do to recover?

*What should people do if the economy is in a slump?

*Has there been a sharp fall in anything?
