In the story about a water polo game, there are several verbs in the Passive Voice. Here are all of them with their translations into Russian:
1. was hit (был ударен) — This verb is in the Passive Voice because the subject (the ball) is receiving the action (being hit) rather than performing it.
2. were fouled (были сфолены) — This verb is in the Passive Voice because the subject (the players) are receiving the action (being fouled) rather than performing it.
3. was scored (был забит гол) — This verb is in the Passive Voice because the subject (the goal) is receiving the action (being scored on) rather than performing it.
4. were ejected (были исключены) — This verb is in the Passive Voice because the subject (the players) are receiving the action (being ejected) rather than performing it.
Overall, the Passive Voice is used in this story to emphasize the actions being done to the subjects rather than the subjects performing the actions themselves.
