Answer:
Simple past passive is used to describe an action that was done to the subject of the sentence. In this case, we are talking about an earthquake that shook the whole town yesterday. To convert this sentence into simple past passive, we need to follow the following steps:
1. Identify the subject and the object of the sentence.
- Subject: earthquake
- Object: the whole town
2. Use the past tense of the verb 'to be' followed by the past participle of the main verb.
- The past participle of 'shake' is 'shaken'
- The past tense of 'to be' is 'was/were', in this case, we use 'was' because the subject is singular.
- So, the sentence will be: 'The whole town was shaken by yesterday's earthquake'
3. Check the sentence for accuracy.
- The sentence is now in simple past passive and accurately describes the action that was done to the subject.
