NOUN OR VERB
Hi! I Wonder of someone can solved me a dude I have.
It's over an exercise over "use passive voice verb form" with a list of verbs. I thought all must be verb, but then I found "Basket".
The word Basket I know it's a noun, so... What must be the verb? May I Keep that noun and usethe passive form with another state-verb (as get, be or have).

¡Please, I will be very pleasure if someone could help me!

Re: NOUN OR VERB
Hello Pepa,

the word “basket” can be either a noun or a verb. As a verb, it means “to place into a basket (or baskets)”, e.g. “They basketed the eggs this morning”, which means “They placed the eggs into a basket (or baskets) this morning”. The usual English passive voice construction can be formed with the verb.
