To form the imperfect passive tense in English, you use the helping verb "was" or "were" followed by the past participle form of the main verb. The past participle form of regular verbs is created by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb.
1. I was holding onto my piggybank. (held)
2. I collected a lot of money.
- To form the imperfect passive tense: I was collected a lot of money.
- However, in this case, the verb "collected" is already in the past tense and doesn't require any changes.
3. I was at my backyard in my house. (was)
4. I played with stuffed animals.
- To form the imperfect passive tense: I was played with by stuffed animals.
5. My sister and I were at an amusement park. (were)
6. We loved rides.
- To form the imperfect passive tense: We were loved by rides.
7. My mom, dad, and I were at my auntie's wedding. (were)
8. I went to a lot of parties.
- To form the imperfect passive tense: I was went to a lot of parties.
- However, "went" is the past tense of "go" and doesn't have a passive form. In this case, the sentence doesn't require use of the passive voice.
9. My auntie and I were at a zoo. (were)
10. I petted a lot of animals.
- To form the imperfect passive tense: I was petted by a lot of animals.
