Verbs are either in active or passive voice. We use Active Voice most of the time. Active Voice has subject first and object second. In the Active Voice, the object receives the action of the verb. In Passive Voice it is the opposite. In the Passive Voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. In the Active Voice, the subject and verb relationship is straightforward; the subject is the do-er (of the action). In the Passive Voice, the subject of the sentence is not a do-er (of the action). Passive voice is used when the action is the focus, not the subject.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Use of the passive voice:
- We use the passive voice when we don’t know who has carried out
an action.
- We use the passive voice when we want to give more importance to
what happened tan to who has carried out an action, or when we
don’t want to say who did it.
3. Form of the passive verb:
Passive verb tenses identify the time of the action in your sentences. To not confuse the
passive verb tenses with the passive voice. While writing in the passive voice requires the
use of passive verb tenses, tenses refer to the time of the action, and voice refers to how
verbs tenses function with respect to a sentences subject. Writing in the passive voice is
only done through the use of passive verb tenses, with each identifying when in time the
passive action takes place.
Passive verb tenses are created by using the past participle form (expresses passive action)
of a verb preceded with a “to be” verb. Sometimes linking verbs a used as well. For most
regular verbs, the past participle is created by adding “en” or “ed” to the end of the verb.
The ending for irregular verbs differs depending an the verb’s past participle form. When
using passive tense verbs, the object of the verb is reciving the action of the verb. The
subject of the verb is not always present in the sentence, and when it is included, it
generally appears later in the sentence.
4. Examples 1:
- Present passive tense “The students are taught by finding
solutions to real-world problems”.
- Simple past passive tense “The students were reprimanded for
their actions”.
- Present perfect passive tense “The dancers have been notified
regarding their acceptance into the show”.
- Past perfect passive tense “The students had been excited about
the meeting since the idea was presented”.
- Future with will ( simple future passive tense) “Sarah’s grades will
be posted at the end of the semester”.
- Going to future (simple future passive tense) “Sarah’s grades are
going to be posted at the end of the semester”.
5. Examples 2:
- Modal verb passive modal + be + past + participle
1. Must: Must pay (active) must be paid (passive verb)
“Workers must be paid an the last day of the month”.
2. Can: Can see can be seen “That painting can be seen in
the Louvre”.
3. Shoul: Shoul do should be done “The work should be
done on time”.
6. Active to passive transformation. Changes in the
sentence.
Example sentence: The dog bit the man Active
Step 1: “The dog bit the man”
- Find the object of the verb (the man)
- Make the object the subject of the new sentence: The man…
Step 2: “The dog bit the man”
- Decide which tense the verb is in “Simple Past”
- Put the verb “to be” of this tense (look to see if the subject singular or plural):
The man was…
Step 3: “Bite Bit Bitten”
- Write the participle of the verb ofter the verb “to be”: The man was bitten…
Step 4:
-Decide if you want to include the agent in the sentence: The man was bitten by
the dog.
7. Choose 5 sentences in the active voice and turn them
into passive voice
1. They will tell you when the time comes You will be told (by
them) when the time comes.
2. She will accept the offer The offer will be accepted by her.
3. I will finish the job by Monday The job will be finished (by me)
by Monday.
4. I will prepare the dinner before you came The dinner will be
prepared (by me) before you came.
5. You will never forget this lesson This lesson will never be
forgotten by you.
