The document discusses the use of passive voice in sentences. It provides examples of active and passive voice constructions. The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action rather than the subject performing the action. To change a sentence from active to passive, the object becomes the subject and the verb is modified with a form of "to be" followed by the past participle. The original subject may become an agent introduced by the preposition "by".

This is by no means an extremely accurate rendering of Passive Voice in English, but I did manage to put together information, examples and tips from various sources which I hope may be useful for anyone trying to understand this grammar point.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. USE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE
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: The Guernica was
stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that “The
Guernica 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 (They have made a mistake.).
3. FORM OF THE PASSIVE VOICE
The passive voice is formed:
Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular
verbs). In the next table appear the passive voice in the different tenses:
4. ACTIVE TO PASSIVE TRANSFORMATION.
CHANGES IN THE SENTENCE
The changes required to pass a sentence from active to passive are:
The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the
passive
The main verb is preceded by the corresponding form of the
verb TO BE, followed by the past participle of the verb
The subject of the active sentence becomes the subject agent,
namely, to go to the end of the phrase preceded by the
preposition BY. (This part can be deleted if we do not care who
takes the action or if it's something obvious).
5. Although less common and often used only in speech,
the auxiliary TO BE can be replaced by TO GET when
we talk about something that happens by accident or
unexpectedly. Example: And finally, They got divorced
Sometimes we can find active sentences with two
objects, one direct reference to one thing and another
indirect pointing to a person. If so, which of the two
will be the subject in the passive? Example: The nun
gave all her money to the indigents.
For though it depends on what you want to express, the
most common is the indirect object becomes subject. “The
indigents were given all the money by the nun”
