Your teacher is making jokes with you.
His glory can never fade does not have a past tense transform.
It begins with can, which is a modal auxiliary, and is therefore not inflected for tense.They had someone to help them does not have a passive transform.
It uses have in the sense of 'possess', which does not allow the passive construction.
