Post by police »

2. Bermuda got its name in 1964. (passive voice)
It was ....................................

I did:
-> It was in 1964 that Bermuda was given its name. ( You said that it is correct)
-> t was in 1964 that Bermuda was named.
My teacher had another way:
-> It was in 1964 that Bermuda had its name got. ( I'm so confused and I'm not sure if it is correct or not. I think it is not)

Could you tell me which one is correct or all of three sentences are correct. Thanks in advance. :?:
