Learn the idea
Passive voice puts the receiver of an action in subject position. Tense is carried by the auxiliary. A conditional separates a condition from its consequence; changes between will and would can change the hypothetical meaning.
Worked example
The team repaired the shelf. → The shelf was repaired by the team. If the library opens, we will meet there; if it opened earlier, we would meet there.
- Read the text and identify the purpose.
