This document discusses the passive voice in English. It defines the passive voice as using a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. It provides examples of the passive voice in affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms. It explains that the passive voice is used to focus on the action rather than the doer, or when the subject is unknown. It notes that the agent (who performs the action) can be included using "by" in the passive form.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
