That same day Danielle’s neighbour was worried. ( passive voice in past tense ) That same day Danielle’s neighbour got worried. ( past simple ) That same day Danielle’s neighbour had been worrying. ( past perfect continuous )

...Danielle's neighbour was worried. (Here 'worried' is an adjective, so neither past simple nor the passive voice - because it would have to be used as a verb for those to be the case). Past simple: The thought of walking home alone in the dark worried her. We don't often use 'worry' in the passive. Passive form: object plus 'be' plus past participle ACTIVE: The police arrested him. PASSIVE: He was arrested by the police.
