Hi

You just swap the order of the words; note that "tasks" is in the plural; and use "by" as the preposition...

- All the tasks were carried out by the children

Perhaps you could have given the OP a chance to try first, as I suggested.

Sorry - we cross-posted

But I do think there are times when it's beneficial just to give the answer - it just is what the person wants to know. No disrespect to your good self was intended

While you're there - what is an OP? I've seen that before and I'm not at all sure about it...

Best regards, Dave

Some of us think that people will learn more effectively if they try themselves. If they make a mistake, this may give us an idea of how to lead them to be able to construct the form for themselves.

Hi

Thanks for that and, yes, I understand

I was teaching Word Processor once and said "There are various ways we can do this...". A young person said "Can we just do the way where you tell us?"

I have sympathy with that sometimes
