Favorite Answer
i guess you mean that the secretary is typing, so it would be ‘to be typed’ because the thing will be typed (are intended to be) so that’s future.
‘to type’ would be if the boss was finishing typing off something
2 B – the boss isn’t typing it. He wants it to be typed, not he wants to type.
B- Was implies past tense. To Slip is present tense, thus it must be Slipping, which is also past tense.
2.
B. Again, past tense of to type would be to be typed. It’s a little more complicated than that but that’s the gist.
2, a, this the correct usage, in these cases!.EDIt- slipping, by it self is not past tense. saw him slipping into the house makes it past tense, since saw, is past tense.
2.to be typed
