Question

Weather camp. Which forms of the Passive Voice should be used here? Hi everybody, How are you? The camp is great.

Answer 1

1 are woken up

2 are told

3 is cooked

4 are asked

5 are taught

6 were taught

7 were taken

8 were shown

9 were explained?! (это неправильно, потому что глагол explain НЕЛЬЗЯ использовать в такой конструкции - смотрите пояснение ниже)

10 are usually made

11 will be predicted

_____

Такие глаголы как  explain (something to somebody — объяснять что-то кому-то), point out (указывать), announce (объявлять), dictate (диктовать), describe (описывать), mention (упоминать), repeat (повторять), suggest (предлагать), propose (предлагать) образуют только одну  конструкцию в пассивном залоге:

The rule was explained to him. — Ему объяснили правило (правило было объяснено).

Но НЕЛЬЗЯ образовать такое предложение:

He was explained the rule.

Answer 2

Hi! Here's the passage with the correct forms of the Passive Voice:

Hi everybody, How are you? The camp is great. Every day we (1) are woken up at 7.30, and after washing, we (2) are told to go to the canteen to have breakfast. Everything (3) is cooked very well here. You know we (4) are asked to clean the table after the meals. Some don’t like it at all, but I think it’s not bad. In this way, we (5) are taught to be independent. We have already done quite a few interesting things. Our first project – a weather forecast competition – has just started. Besides, we (6) are taught to forecast weather in our last class. Yesterday we (7) were taken round a weather station. We (8) were shown different measuring tools. We also (9) had explained how predictions about weather usually (10) are made. I believe that with satellites and computers, weather (11) will be predicted very well in the future. On the whole, the camp is both useful and enjoyable. Love and best wishes, Nelly.

Note: In some cases, the passive voice might not be the best option, and active voice sentences could also be used, depending on the context and emphasis. However, since the task specifically asks for the Passive Voice forms, I have provided them accordingly.
