Exercise 33.4.4
They shop is open everyday from 8.30. It's 9.00 now, but the shop isn't open yet.
My answer
The shop should have been opened.
Exam answer
The shop should have opened by now.
I think my answer is aslo correct, because we can use passive voice here. Shop can be open by someone. Am I right.
Thanks in advance.
