Complete the gaps in the text by putting the verbs in brackets
into an appropriate passive form. Look at the example given.
Well, last month most of lambs (1) were sold (sell) at the market, although we’ve still got ten, which (2) ……. (probably send) next week.
When all the lambs have gone, the sheep (3) ……. (take) to another part
of the farm. After that we usually start on the fruit, although the blackcurrants (4) ……. (already pick) because it was an early season this year.
The plums can’t (5) ……. (pick) for another three weeks by law as they
(6) ……. (spray) only seven weeks ago. Of course, they still have (7)
……. (gather) by hand, unlike the blackcurrants, which (8) ……. (har-
31
vest) by machine nowadays. The plums and blackcurrants (9) ……. (both
make) into jam and preserve. Then we have what’s called the ‘bag fruit’,
which is apples and pears. Since the fruit doesn’t have to be in good condition (10) ……. (make) into cider and perry, it (11) ……. (treat) pretty
badly. For example, there are no skilled pickers involved, the trees (12)
……. (just shake) until the fruit drops to the ground, where it (13) …….
(collect) and (14) ……. (put) into bags. As you can imagine, handling the
bags is a very dirty job as the juice leaks out everywhere. But I hope the
whole process (15) ……. (automate) before much longer.
INFINITIVE
Insert to where necessary before the infinitives in brackets.
