Alright, let's break down this grammar exercise! We need to put the verbs in the brackets into the past simple passive voice. * **First sentence:** "Two men *were seen* breaking..." This part is already done, showing the passive voice ('were seen'). * **Second sentence:** The police *were called* and they arrived very quickly. The past simple passive of "call" is "were called". * **Third sentence:** One man *was caught* immediately. The past simple passive of "catch" is "was caught". * **Fourth sentence:** ...but he *was found* very soon. The past simple passive of "find" is "was found". * **Fifth sentence:** Both men *were taken* to the police station... The past simple passive of "take" is "were taken". * **Sixth sentence:** ...where they *were questioned* separately... The past simple passive of "question" is "were questioned". * **Seventh sentence:** The two men *were charged* with burglary. The past simple passive of "charge" is "were charged". So, the completed sentences are: Two men *were seen* breaking into a house in my street last night. The police *were called* and they arrived very quickly. One man *was caught* immediately. The other escaped, but he *was found* very soon. Both men *were taken* to the police station where they *were questioned* separately by a police officer. The two men *were charged* with burglary. **Explanation for Students (на русском):** В задании нужно было поставить глаголы в скобках в пассивный залог прошедшего времени (Past Simple Passive). Пассивный залог используется, когда действие направлено на подлежащее, а не наоборот. В прошедшем времени пассивный залог образуется с помощью *was/were* + *глагол в третьей форме* (Past Participle). Например: *to call* -> *was/were called*; *to catch* -> *was/were caught*; *to find* -> *was/were found*; *to take* -> *was/were taken*; *to question* -> *was/were questioned*; *to charge* -> *was/were charged*.
