Change these sentences to passive voice:
1 The factory makes toys. -> Toys are made by the factory.
2 We bought the rug on sale. -> The rug was bought on sale (by us).
3 She usually wears earrings. -> Earrings are usually worn (by her).

passive voice = [be] + past participle ([be] can be in any tense)

Since 2007, billions of smartphones have been sold (sell).
	(“since 2007” -> present perfect)

This company has been selling cell phones since 1995.
*Cell phones have been being sold by this company since 1995.
	(It sounds wrong or strange to use perfect continuous tenses with passive.)

In 2007, billions of smartphones were sold (sell).
	(“in 2007” -> simple past)

Right now, billions of smartphones are being sold (sell).
	(“right now” -> present continuous)
---
Remember: “each” and “every” are singular, and can only be used with singular count nouns
	For plural and noncount nouns, use “all”.
