Answer 2

Sure! Here are the sentences with the agent added using the prepositions "by" or "with":

1. The table is being laid for dinner by Helen. 2. I was told the news by my friend. 3. The case has been mentioned to me by the lawyer. 4. The situation was explained to us by the parents. 5. The money was entrusted to her by her aunt. 6. This car was bought by my boyfriend.

In these sentences, the prepositions "by" and "with" are used to indicate the agent or doer of the action. "By" is used when the agent is the active doer of the action, while "with" is used when the agent is the instrument or means by which the action is performed.
