Question

Complete with present or past passive this morning i.....up by the neighbors dog (wake)

Answer 1

This morning I was woken by the neighbors' dog-Past Simple Passive

Answer 2

This morning I was woken up by the neighbor's dog.

In this sentence, the verb "wake" is in the past participle form "woken," which is used in the past passive voice. The subject of the sentence is "I," and the action of being woken up is happening to the subject. The agent of the action, in this case, is the neighbor's dog.

The past passive voice is used when the focus is on the action that happened to the subject, rather than who performed the action. In this case, the important information is that "I" was woken up, not who or what woke "I" up.

It's worth noting that the present passive voice can also be used in this context, depending on the intended meaning. If you want to emphasize that the action is ongoing or habitual, you can say:

This morning I am/was/will be woken up by the neighbor's dog.

In this case, the verb "wake" remains in the past participle form "woken," but the auxiliary verb "am/was/will be" changes based on the tense you want to use.

So, depending on whether you want to emphasize the action happening in the past or in general, you can use either the past passive voice ("was woken up") or the present passive voice ("am/was/will be woken up").
