  6. Thanks for participating. Everything is meaningful.
    Some observations: first, "for" is a preposition, so it must be followed by a gerund and not an infinitive verb. The simple past and past participle of eat is: ate and eaten. Graciela and Sara try to check the right order of past perfect in passive voice. William, it is not necessary to write (,) before and after "by."
    Congratulatons for your great motivation and check the details.
