1) Cardiff has always been known as a beautiful city. (Present Perfect Passive)
2) How many books were sold today? (Past Simple Passive)
3) The article was published a few days ago. (Past Simple Passive)
4) This message was sent yesterday. (Past Simple Passive)
The task asked to put the verbs in either Present Perfect Passive or Past Simple Passive.
1) "Cardiff always (to know) as a beautiful city."
The verb "to know" is in the present tense, so we need to change it to the past participle form. Also, the sentence is referring to a state that has existed for a long time until now, so we need to use the Present Perfect tense. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Cardiff has always been known as a beautiful city."
2) "How many books (to sell) today?"
The sentence is in the passive voice, so we need to use the past participle form of the verb "to sell" and change the verb tense to past simple to indicate that the action was completed in the past. Therefore, the correct sentence is "How many books were sold today?"
3) "The article (to publish) a few days ago."
The sentence is also in the passive voice, so we need to use the past participle form of the verb "to publish" and change the verb tense to past simple to indicate that the action was completed in the past. Therefore, the correct sentence is "The article was published a few days ago."
4) "This message (to send) yesterday."
Again, the sentence is in the passive voice, so we need to use the past participle form of the verb "to send" and change the verb tense to past simple to indicate that the action was completed in the past. Therefore, the correct sentence is "This message was sent yesterday."
