Answer 2

Complete the examples and the explanation with the right form of be:

• This teapot is made of silver. It isn't made of gold.
• Things from all over the world are sold at Portobello Road.
• The watches are made in England. They're from Taiwan.

We form the present simple passive with subject + is, are, am, isn't, aren't + past participle (e.g. 'made', 'sold'). We use the passive voice when we want to focus on the action or the object rather than the person doing the action. It is also used when we don't know or aren't interested in who does the action.

For example, in the sentence "The watches are made in Taiwan", we are not interested in who makes the watches, we are only interested in the fact that they are made in Taiwan.
