- You are not helped (by them)
? Are you picked up (by your mum?)

Passive simple past:

+ A song was sung (by her).

Mark the passive in the sentences and put the "who" in brackets

The milk’s all been used up again and not replaced by Jim. I’ve had a shit day at work and I’d just like a cup of tea, thought Jane.

Why was she expected [by Jim] to be the breadwinner and the skivvy in their relationship, while he just sat up jamming all night and slept through the day?

What about her goals and ambitions? Why weren’t they ever taken seriously by Jim?

She noticed his teeth had been whitened by an expensive cosmetic dentist, no doubt and wondered where’d he got the money.
