Explanation: In the original sentence, "They built the house in 2013," the verb "built" is in the past simple tense. To transform this sentence and keep the same meaning, we can use the passive voice by adding the auxiliary verb "was" before the main verb and changing the verb "built" to its past participle form "built." This creates the sentence "The house was built in 2013."
2 I wasn't asked any questions.
Explanation: In the given sentence, "They didn't ask me any questions," the negative form of the past simple tense is used. To convey a similar meaning, we can use the negative form of the past simple tense in the sentence "I wasn't asked any questions." The negative particle "not" is contracted with the auxiliary verb "did" and added before the main verb "asked" to form the negative past simple tense.
3 Over 1,000 bikes have been sold so far this year.
Explanation: In the original sentence, "They have sold over 1,000 bikes so far this year," the present perfect tense is used to talk about an action that started in the past and continues in the present. To maintain a similar meaning, we can use the passive voice by adding the auxiliary verb "have been" before the main verb "sold," and changing the verb "sold" to its past participle form "sold." This results in the sentence "Over 1,000 bikes have been sold so far this year."
4 It is pronounced the same way in English.
Explanation: In the given sentence, "You pronounce it the same way in English," the pronoun "it" refers to a certain thing, and the verb "pronounce" is in the present simple tense. To create a sentence with a similar meaning, we can use the pronoun "it" at the beginning, followed by the auxiliary verb "is" and the verb "pronounced" in its past participle form "pronounced." This gives us the sentence "It is pronounced the same way in English."
5 More than 100 pictures were painted in this studio.
Explanation: In the original sentence, "He painted more than 100 pictures in this studio," the verb "painted" is in the past simple tense.

This results in the sentence "More than 100 pictures were painted in this studio."
6 When was their first shop opened?

This rearrangement gives us the sentence "When was their first shop opened?"
