My dear friends! Being a professional teacher of English grammar, I decided to start this group to help you improve your knowledge of the subject. Many members asked me to do it and I do feel like that! So, I am planning to start a few discussions where you will be able to ask me questions or to have some practice. I'd also like to involve my husband, a native speaker, who is supposed to be helpful. So, how do you feel about such a group?
Rewrite into a passive sentence: "You haven't given the gift to Pete"
Is it not "The gift hasn't been given to Pete by you" ? I was marked down for writing my answer as such instead of "The gift to Pete hasn't been given by you". How is it any different?

Afro, yes
Dear Afro! It is incorrect. You should say "It takes an hour and a half to get to Dhaka"
Is it one and a half hour
Dear Afro! It is very easy to answer your question. RELIEVE is a verb, while RELIEF is a noun. Here is an example:
The taken pill relieved my headache.
I felt great relief after taking a pill.
Wanted to know the difference between relief and relieve with examples, please!
sorry for my mistake, the word is actually find. Ok,the answer is 'are'. thank you...
Dear Ka-ty! The correct sentence:
They found a large area where there were no trees.
Your main clause is in the past tense, so the subordinate clause must be in the past tense, too. TREES is a plural, so your predicate must be WERE.
