The document discusses the passive voice and provides examples of how to change sentences from active to passive voice. The passive voice focuses on the action rather than the subject. It can sometimes be more polite than the active voice. To change a sentence to the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, the finite verb is changed to "be" plus the past participle, and the subject of the active sentence may become the object of the passive sentence or be dropped. Several examples are given to illustrate changing between active and passive voice.

The document discusses the verb "to be" and provides examples of its common uses and functions in sentences. It serves to connect the subject with an adjective, noun, or phrase to identify or describe the subject. Sentences using the verb "to be" typically have a three-part structure with the subject, verb "to be", and a complement or adverbial phrase. However, the document warns that overusing the verb "to be" can weaken writing, and recommends reviewing one's own writing to identify instances of it that could be replaced with stronger verbs.

Here is the rewritten paragraph in the active voice:
Last summer I painted our house. First, I washed the exterior using warm water and a mild detergent. Then I sealed all of the chinks in the walls with putty. After the putty had dried, I could paint the exterior. I used a latex paint because it is easy to apply and cleans up with water. It took me a whole week to finish this part of the job. I chose a color that was very close to the original color. When the job was finished, I felt a great deal of satisfaction. Even my dad said I did a good job.

This document provides information on several English grammar topics:
- Compound subjects which are two or more subjects joined by a conjunction and require a plural verb.
- Singular and plural subjects and their verb agreement.
- The use of reflexive pronouns which refer back to the subject of the sentence or are used for emphasis.
- A list of reflexive pronouns and examples of their use as objects of prepositions.
- Brief explanations of relative pronouns.
Word order
Word order in English sentences follows some basic rules. The subject of a sentence comes before the verb, and the direct object comes after the verb. Adverbs and other modifiers usually come before or after the subject, verb, or object. Questions follow the same subject-verb-object order but place the auxiliary verb before the subject. These rules allow word order to be determined even in complex sentences.
Indirect speech
The document discusses indirect speech in Hebrew. Indirect speech is used to report or paraphrase what someone said without directly quoting them. It involves changing the tense and pronouns compared to direct speech. Some examples of indirect speech constructions in Hebrew are provided, using the conjunction "she-" to combine the two clauses. The rules are slightly different for indirect questions, sometimes using "she-" and sometimes the word "im" which means "if".
Construct chains
This document discusses construct chains in Hebrew. Construct chains involve two nouns, where the first noun is modified by the second. The first noun undergoes changes to its spelling or pronunciation depending on its gender and number. Only the second noun in the chain can take a definite article. The meaning of the two nouns together may also change from their individual meanings. Examples of construct chains include "bet sefer" meaning school and "ugat gvinah" meaning cheesecake. The document also discusses borrowed words in Hebrew and new letter sounds introduced to represent sounds from foreign languages.
Active Voice
1. The active voice is when the subject performs the action of the sentence, while the passive voice is when the subject receives the action.
2. Active verbs convey more action and interest than passive verbs.
3. In general, the active voice is stronger, more direct, and clearer than the passive voice, though passive can be used effectively in some cases.
Ingle activo a pasivo
The document discusses converting sentences from active to passive voice. It states that in the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject and the main verb is replaced by a form of "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb. The subject of the active sentence becomes a complement preceded by "by" if the agent is mentioned. Examples are provided to illustrate how to change sentences between active and passive voice in different tenses.

Four kinds of clauses
This document defines and provides examples of different types of clauses:
Independent clauses can stand alone as complete sentences. Adverb clauses provide more information about the main clause and usually begin with subordinating conjunctions like "before" or "because". Adjective clauses modify nouns and usually begin with relative pronouns like "who" or "that". Noun clauses can serve as the subject, object, or object of a preposition in a sentence and often begin with "that" or a question word. The same words like "when" can be used in different types of clauses depending on their function in the sentence.
Active And Passive Voice
The active voice is when the subject performs the action of the sentence, while the passive voice is when the subject receives the action. The active voice uses active verbs to convey action and is generally stronger, more direct, and clearer than the passive voice. However, the passive voice has its uses, such as when the actor is unknown, to change emphasis or pace, or to take a gentler or more objective tone. Writers should rely more on the active voice but not use it exclusively.

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. The passive voice is used when the agent performing the action is unknown or unimportant. The document provides examples of transforming active voice sentences to the passive voice and examples of passive voice constructions in different tenses. It also explains the structure of a passive voice sentence and the steps to transform an active sentence to the passive.
Sentences and their Types
This document discusses different types of sentences according to structure and purpose. There are four types of sentences according to structure: simple sentences contain one independent clause; compound sentences contain two independent clauses joined by a linking word; complex sentences have one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses; and compound-complex sentences contain three or more clauses with at least two independent and one dependent clause. There are also four types of sentences according to purpose: declarative sentences make statements; interrogative sentences ask questions; imperative sentences are commands or requests; and exclamatory sentences express strong emotion.

Understanding clauses
There are two types of clauses: independent clauses and dependent clauses. Independent clauses can stand alone as they are complete statements containing a subject and a verb. Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as they are incomplete statements, often using subordinate conjunctions. Dependent clauses are usually preceded by a comma when placed before an independent clause in a sentence. The word "that" can function as a pronoun, adjective, or introduce a dependent clause.
L#5 sentences which cannot be changed into passive voice
The document discusses types of sentences that cannot be changed to the passive voice. It states that sentences in the present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, and future perfect continuous tenses cannot be changed. Additionally, sentences with intransitive verbs, which do not require an object, also cannot be changed to the passive voice as they have no object to become the subject. Examples of intransitive verbs like "laugh", "sleep", and "go" are provided to illustrate this.
Unit 5
This document discusses the four main types of sentences in English: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. It provides examples and explanations of each type. Simple sentences contain one independent clause. Compound sentences contain two or more independent clauses joined with coordinators, conjunctive adverbs, or semicolons. Complex sentences contain one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses, which can be adverb, adjective, or noun clauses. Compound-complex sentences contain at least three clauses, with at least two being independent clauses.
Sentence Types
This document provides an overview of different types of sentences: simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences. It defines each type and provides examples. A simple sentence contains one independent clause, while a compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses joined with coordinating conjunctions. A complex sentence contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The document also discusses avoiding long rambling sentences with many independent clauses and provides tips for improving sentence structure.
Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns are short words used as substitutes for proper nouns and indicate grammatical person, gender, number, and case. They include first person pronouns like I and we that refer to the speaker, second person pronouns like you that refer to the person being spoken to, and third person pronouns like he and they that refer to the person being spoken about. Personal pronouns can be subjects or objects in a sentence. The document provides examples of personal pronouns and their uses and includes links to online exercises to practice identifying personal pronouns.

The basic word order in positive sentences is subject-verb-object. It then provides examples of word order in different types of sentences including negative sentences, subordinate clauses, questions, and with different types of adverbs and adjectives. The document is intended as a reference for learners of English grammar to understand rules around word order.
Semicolons
The document provides instruction on using semicolons correctly in sentences. It includes examples of using semicolons between two independent clauses, between independent clauses joined by a transitional expression, and between items in a series. It also provides one example each of a correct sentence using a colon and a comma splice about a supplemental reading.
Present Participle, Past Participle, Explanation Text
1. The document explains the process of making paper from woodchips. Trees are cut down and taken to a mill where the logs are stripped of bark and cut into woodchips.
2. The woodchips are then screened, exported, or turned into pulp using chemicals and heat. The pulp is bleached and dried before being rolled out to make paper.
3. The summary outlines the key steps in the paper making process from cutting down trees to producing paper, including chipping logs, making pulp, and the final rolling of pulp into sheets of paper.
Phrases And Clauses Grammar1.15
The document discusses different types of phrases and clauses. It defines phrases as groups of related words that do not contain a verb and subject. There are five types of phrases: prepositional, adjective, adverb, verbal, and appositive. It also defines clauses as groups of words containing a subject and verb. Clauses are either independent or dependent, with three types of dependent clauses: adjective, adverb, and noun clauses. Examples are provided to illustrate each type of phrase and clause.
Phrase. clause. sentence
A phrase is a group of words that does not contain both a subject and a verb. It can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb but does not express a complete idea on its own. There are four main types of phrases: noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, and adverb phrases. A sentence contains both a subject and a predicate and can stand alone, while clauses contain a subject and verb but may or may not be able to stand alone. Subject-verb agreement requires that the verb matches the subject in number - singular verbs must go with singular subjects and plural verbs with plural subjects.
The passive voice.
The document discusses the passive voice in English grammar. It defines the passive voice as when the subject of the sentence receives the action of the verb. It provides examples of forming the passive voice using auxiliary verbs like "be" and the past participle. Various verb tenses in passive voice are listed such as present simple, present perfect, past simple, and future with "will." Examples are given of transforming sentences from active to passive voice.
Pi'el present tense
This document introduces the pi'el verb form in Hebrew. It explains that pi'el verbs use the same root letters as pa'al verbs but convey a more intensive meaning. The prefix "mem" is added to the root to form the pi'el. For example, the root LMD becomes "melamed" in pi'el, meaning "to teach," compared to "lilmod" in pa'al, meaning "to learn." Pi'el verbs follow the same conjugation patterns as pa'al verbs, with some variations for weak verbs. The infinitive is formed by replacing the "mem" prefix with "lamed."
Types of sentences according to structure
The document discusses different types of sentences according to their structure: simple sentences contain one independent clause; compound sentences contain at least two independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions; complex sentences contain an independent clause and at least one dependent clause joined by a subordinating conjunction; and compound-complex sentences contain at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Examples are provided for each sentence type.
Fashion style is eternal
Fashion in the 1920s took inspiration from Art Deco styles. Women cut their hair short in bob styles and wore heavy, vibrant makeup to look modern. Dresses of the 1920s were loose and long, hiding women's figures. Today, fashion is more open and individualistic, with people choosing styles based on personal expression and comfort rather than societal expectations.

Dogs
Dogs were first domesticated by humans approximately 15,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. Wolves that scavenged near human encampments were gradually domesticated over many generations into dogs. Today there are over 400 million domestic dogs worldwide. Dogs have been domesticated as working animals for hunting, herding, and protection, as well as companions. Their enhanced senses of smell, hearing, and sight along with behaviors inherited from wolves such as inhibited biting have allowed dogs to form close relationships with humans.
MSR david-heckerman_genomics
The document discusses fast algorithms for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) developed by researchers at Microsoft. The algorithms, called FaST-LMM, use linear mixed models to analyze extremely large genetic datasets while accounting for confounding factors like population structure. FaST-LMM reduces computational time by selecting a subset of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to use in similarity calculations rather than considering all SNPs. The algorithms were applied to study interactions between SNPs for several common diseases, analyzing billions of SNP pairs, and identified new associations for coronary artery disease. Software implementing FaST-LMM is freely available.
Adapter Pattern (with Wreck It Ralph)
The Adapter pattern allows incompatible interfaces to work together by converting the interface of one class into another interface clients expect. The document describes an example where a BotLeader interface with a fireBullets() method needs to work with a Ralph class that has a smash() method. An Adapter class is created that implements the BotLeader interface and contains a Ralph object. The Adapter's fireBullets() method calls the Ralph object's smash() method, adapting the Ralph interface to the expected BotLeader interface. This allows different classes to work together even if their interfaces don't match directly.

Active & passive voice
The document discusses the active and passive voice in grammar. In the active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb and can take a direct object. In the passive voice, the subject undergoes the action of the verb. There are two types of passive voice: short passive where the subject or performer is unknown, and long passive where the object becomes the subject of the sentence. The key rules for passive voice are that the subject and object switch places, only the past participle is used as the main verb, and "by" is used to indicate the performer/subject. Auxiliary verbs also change depending on tense in the passive voice.
Passive voice
The document discusses the passive voice and how it is used to give importance to the object or recipient of an action rather than the subject performing the action. The passive voice is formed using the auxiliary verb "to be" and the past participle of the main verb. Examples are given of sentences written in the active and passive voice and how to transform between the two, including how the subject becomes an optional complement introduced by "by" in the passive form.
