*The letter ..... Yesterday . wrote was written had written has been written

English

Naily [24]2 years ago

Answer:

The letter <u>was written</u> yesterday.

Explanation:

Yesterday is a keyword that indicates the action happened and ended. Therefore, we have to use past simple tense.

That leaves us with <u>wrote</u> and <u>was written</u> choice. Last two choices are past perfect and they should only be applied when there consists of past tense in one clause —> e.g I had eaten rice before I went to bed.

Next, we have to understand between active voice and passive voice.

Active Voice

Subject + Verb + Object

An example of active voice is:

  • I eat rice.
  • I write a book.
  • I hit a desk.

On the other hand, we have:

Passive Voice

Object + verb to be/have + been (if there is) + past participle + by subject (if there is)

An example is:

  • Rice is eaten by me.
  • A book is written by me.
  • A desk is hit by me.

Active voice starts with subject causing something to object.

Passive voice starts with object being caused something by subject.

And we know that a letter cannot write itself so it cannot be a subject but an object.

Hence, the letter was written yesterday is correct, indicating that the letter was being done and not letter doing.

What could u add to a main verb to make a verb phrase
Andrews [41]
The main verb is also called the lexical verb or the principal verb. This term refers to the important verb in the sentence, the one that typically shows the action or state of being of the subject. Main verbs can stand alone, or they can be used with a helping verb, also called an auxiliary verb.

Helping verbs do just what they sound like they do—they help! Different helping verbs help or support the main verb in different ways. For instance, they can show tense (which indicates when an action happened), ability, intention, or possibility. The primary helping verbs are to be, to do, and to have. To better understand how helping verbs support main verbs, consider the examples below:

I am driving to the beach.
Here, the auxiliary verb “am” (a form of to be) lets the reader or listener know that the main verb in the sentence—in this case, “driving”—is happening continuously in the present. Different forms of to be could be used as a helping verb to explain when the driving is occurring (e.g., was driving, will drive, or had been driving).
