¡Hola! Looks like you have the hang of the simple passive voice with an agent structure; however, you are missing a fine point with the past participle in the structure--the -ado, -ido, or irregular forms (-to, -cho, -so). Remember that the past participle in this structure needs to agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the "new" subject in the passive voice statement. Example: Juan cerró la ventana. "New subject in the passive voice" = "La ventana" (singular and FEMININE) So...your passive voice sentence would look like: La ventana fue cerradA por Juan. Therefore, in looking at your answers above, you still have some work to do; not ALL past participles in the passive voice structure will end in -ado, -ido, -cho, -so, or -to. Please contact me for more help in an individual Spanish tutoring session. Spanish grammar is easy to figure out! ¡Buena suerte!
