Answer:

The teeter-totter was shared by the boys.

Explanation:

Passive voice is when the object of the sentence becomes the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence then receives the action instead of doing it. Passive voice always includes a form of the verb 'to be' and a particle of the main verb. In the case of the last sentence, the teeter-totter is the object/subject. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be." Shared is the past particle of the verb "share."

So basically, the breakdown is like this:

The teeter-totter  +   was       +   shared by   +  the boys.

       object          past tense    past particle      subject

                            of the verb    of the verb

                               'to be'             'share'

All the other sentences are in active voice as the subject is doing the action. "Lilly took", "Little boy arrived", "The boy started playing" all have the subject in front of the verb.  

Hope this helps. :)

Because the play Romeo and Juliet takes place hundreds of years in the past, there are some differences in our marriage values t
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

In my opinion, in the old days, everyone was jolly and grateful for who they got to marry. Money wasn't an influential cause, and although people were different colors, and had different personal attributes or aspects, they would get married for who they were deep inside. When Romeo and Juliet took place, they both were in separated families, and mainly people married their own color. However, money is greatly involved in our current era. People don't look for personal aspects or the way they are inside, many people are what we call "gold diggers". Only getting married for that cash, which is pretty sad these days. Another difference, in my opinion, is that people stayed married longer in the old days, not because of aging, but because of who they were inside, and the true gentleman inside of them. Today, many people get married just for the benefit of finance, and usually leave after cash is earned, which is overall sad.
