HELP question 5 on the grammar section.

I might be being completely silly but im getting confused now. 

I am on my last attempt and could really use some help please!! 

I have everything correct apart from the functional meaning. 


'The school was founded in 2002.'

Ok, so I first put reported event/ newspaper headline. 

I understand that it is passive so it is important in the function. 

Therefore I would have thought that it is ' an indirect action completed at a specific time in the past?' 

If I am on completely the wrong idea here please tell me, and point me in a different direction. 

 

Thanks

Thankyou for your advice. It is definatly a little bit difficult to express that. Oh well ill give it a go, i definately understand, its just putting it in the right words i guess. 


Thanks again. 

Hello Daisy1turner - I completed this module the other day and I put ' describing a historical event'   wrong!!! well, not wrong, but the point is that the focus of the statement is on the past event, not the doer.  Express that how you will.
