mon choix était fait depuis longtemps?

Why is "était fait" used in a compound verb structure when avoir is normally used w/ faire?

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

The verb form is imperfect tense, passive voice. It is formed with the verb être in imperfect tense and the participle of the verb. Passive voice is with être, never with avoir.
