| Question | The ballots ___________ (to count) several hours ago. |
|---|---|
| A | were counted |
| B | is counted |
| C | are counted |
| D | counted |
| Answer | a |
| Remark | When we don't know who carries out the action, or it is obvious or unimportant to us, we use the Passive voice. The Passive is formed: BE + Past Participle. In this sentence the action took place at a certain time in the past, so we use the Past Simple Passive. |
