🎯B2 Level ESL Exercise - Dialogue

💡Complete the dialogue between Maria and Tom with the correct verb form. Use Active Voice or Passive Voice depending on the context.

💭Remember:
  • Active Voice: Subject performs the action (e.g., "The manager explained it")
  • Passive Voice: Subject receives the action (e.g., "It was explained by the manager")
  • Choose passive when the action is more important than who did it, or when the doer is unknown/obvious
