Ответ:

2 Some unusual wild birds have been seen this winter.

Построение:

1. Ставим объект (предмет или человек), над которым совершается действие, в начало предложения.

2. На второе место в предложении ставим глагол to be в настоящем или прошедшем времени. В прошедшем времени он имеет две формы — was и were. Was мы используем, когда говорим о ком-то в единственном числе (он, она, оно, я). Were используется во всех остальных случаях.

В настоящем -am (для I), is (для he/she/it) и are (для мн.ч.)

3. Само действие (глагол) мы ставим в прошедшее время. В английском языке есть правильные и неправильные глаголы. В зависимости от глагола мы: добавляем окончание -ed, если глагол правильный или ставим его в 3-ю форму, если глагол неправильный

• С помощью предлога by мы можем добавить, кем/чем было совершенно действие. Для этого мы ставим by в конце предложения, а после него того, кто это сделал.#SPJ1
