Логика такая: в этих упражнениях нужно перефразировать предложения, используя пассивный залог. В пассивном залоге подлежащее подвергается действию, а не выполняет его. Поехали!

A new road is being built around the city.

Two new hotels have been built near the airport.

When I last visited, some new houses were being built here.

The date of the meeting has been changed.

I didn't know that our conversation was being recorded.

Is anything being done about the problem?

The windows were very dirty. They hadn't been cleaned for ages.

Проверка за 10 секунд: убедись, что в каждом предложении есть форма глагола "to be" (is, are, was, were, been, being) + глагол в третьей форме (Past Participle).

База: Пассивный залог делает акцент на действии, а не на исполнителе. Это полезно, когда исполнитель неизвестен или не важен.
