8. My boss will be introduced to you by me this week. passive

9. At the weekend it would have been fixed. passive

10. This time Jason is singing the national anthem. active

Explanation:

Active writing is when the subject is doing the action. Passive writing is when the action is being done by the subject. To switch between these types of writing, just switch what the main focus of the sentence is.

Active: "Johnny shot the basketball into the hoop."

Passive: "The ball was shot into the hoop by Johnny.

In the active sentence, Johnny is shooting the basketball. In the passive sentence, the basketball was being shot by Johnny. The same thing is happening in these two sentences, but the main focus is on different things.

When the football team won the Super Bowl, the coach told reporters that he was glad.Which technique does this sentence best ill

lyudmila [28]

The technique that this sentence best illustrates is understatement.
Understatement means that you are not showing the full 'strength' of something, but it is rather understated - so here, the coach only said that 'he was glad' even though his team won the Super Bowl, which is a huge deal. So his emotions should have been way stronger.

6. The customer was paying his cheque when he dropped his credit card.

7. The barber cut my hair yesterday.

8. She was dancing when she hurt her ankle.

9. It was raining hard when I got up.

10. It rained hard last night.

Explanation:

Past Simple or Past Indefinite:

This tense is usually used when the sentence has an adverb of past tense, e.g last ----- , yesterday, ago.

The sentences No. 2, 5, 7 and 10 all have adverbs of past tense i.e yesterday or last.

Past Continuous:

We use this tense when talking about some event of past, that was taking place or happening at that specific time.

We also use Past Continuous tense when some event was already taking place or in the process, and some other even took place at that time. However if some event had already taken place some other event in the past, we use Past Perfect. Since there is no option to use Past Perfect Tense in this question, we can safely use Past Continuous Tense in sentences No. 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9.
