Passive voice
The document discusses passive voice, including its uses, formation, examples of verb tenses in passive voice, and how to transform sentences from active to passive voice. Passive voice is formed using the auxiliary verb "to be" and the past participle of the main verb. It is used when the actor is unknown or less important than the action. To change an active sentence to passive, the object becomes the subject, the verb is changed to a form of "to be" plus the past participle, and the original subject is added as a prepositional phrase introduced with "by".

Activeandpassivevoicepp (1)
This document defines and compares active and passive voice. Active voice uses a subject that performs the action of the verb and a direct object that receives the action. Passive voice uses a subject that receives the action of a passive verb formed from "to be" plus the past participle. While both are grammatically correct, active voice is usually more clear and direct for academic and business writing unless the agent performing the action is unknown.

While active voice is usually preferred for being more direct, passive voice can be used when the performer of the action is unknown or less important than the recipient of the action.

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.

Tense and modal verbs are also discussed in their active and passive forms.
The Structure of Passive Voice
Use of Passive
Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.
Example: My bike was stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:
Example: A mistake was made.
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).

1) The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action rather than the subject performing the action.
2) To form the passive voice, the subject becomes the object and the finite form of the verb changes to some form of "to be" plus the past participle.
3) There are both personal and impersonal passive constructions. Personal passive involves using the direct object of the active sentence as the subject of the passive. Impersonal passive is used with verbs that do not take a direct object.

Passive.pptx
The document discusses the passive voice and its uses. The passive voice is formed using the auxiliary verb "to be" and the past participle of the main verb. It focuses on the recipient of the action rather than the performer. The performer can be introduced using "by". Some common contexts for using the passive voice include when the performer is unknown, unimportant, or when the focus is on the action rather than the performer.
Gerunds and infinitives
This document discusses gerunds and infinitives. It explains that gerunds end in "-ing" but function as nouns, taking object or complement roles. Infinitives use "to" before the base verb form and can function as subjects, objects, complements, adjectives, or adverbs. Certain verbs like "enjoy" and "avoid" are followed by gerunds rather than infinitives. Gerunds can be used after prepositions but infinitives cannot.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
