Answer 2

Certainly! It looks like you're dealing with passive voice constructions in English. Let's go through each sentence and identify the correct form of the verb:

1. Such long bridges seldom are built (passive voice in present simple). 2. Excuse me. The house is being painted (passive voice in present continuous). 3. I cannot give you articles now. They are being translated (passive voice in present continuous). 4. Room 47 is not ready yet. It is being cleaned (passive voice in present continuous). 5. John said they could not take photos. The camera was being repaired (passive voice in past continuous). 6. When they arrived home, the walls of the dining room were being painted (passive voice in past continuous). 7. We could not get inside. The floors were being washed (passive voice in past continuous). 8. Computer games were not played (passive voice in past simple) when I was your age. 9. Last summer, the edition of the novel was not being sold (passive voice in past continuous). 10. When Mr. Brown phoned, the article still was being translated (passive voice in past continuous). 11. When I lived in Germany, newspapers were being brought (passive voice in past continuous) to us early in the morning. 12. I entered the hotel at 8. Everybody was busy. Rooms were being prepared (passive voice in past continuous) for the arriving guests.

Remember that the passive voice is formed with the verb "to be" in the appropriate tense plus the past participle of the main verb. I hope this helps! If you have any specific questions about a particular sentence, feel free to ask.
