A Read Paul’s story about an item from the past. Underline the verb
forms that are passive.

I have chosen a woodworking drill. It was owned by my

grandfather and was used in his work as a carpenter on ships.
Sadly, my grandfather was lost at sea when my father was a

child, so I never knew him. His tools are kept carefully by my
family. I like to do woodwork myself, so his drill is still used,

and it works very well. I’m going to give the drill to my son. It’s
nice to think that my grandfather will be remembered through

his tools.
