Passives

Passive verb forms use a form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb. Transitive verbs that take objects can be used passively, while intransitive verbs that do not take objects cannot. Many verbs can be both transitive and intransitive depending on whether they are used with or without an object. Verbs followed by an object and preposition in the active voice have two corresponding passive forms, while verbs that cannot be used with an object have only one passive form. Certain multi-word verb forms like "talk into" can also be used passively. Passives are often used to omit the agent or subject and focus on the recipient of the action.

Head Movement and verb movement
The document discusses verb movement in syntax. It explains that in English, auxiliary verbs like "have" and "be" can appear in the tense slot of a sentence unless that slot is filled by another verb, whereas main verbs like "eat" appear in the verb phrase. Some languages exhibit verb movement where all verbs, not just auxiliaries, appear in the tense slot. This movement of verbs can be analyzed as the verb adjoining to the tense feature in a higher clause.
Short Form Responses
The document discusses the use of auxiliary verbs in short-form responses to agree, disagree, or add information to a statement. It provides rules for responses that agree, disagree, or add confirming or contrary information using verbs like "yes", "no", "so", and "but". It also notes that the "agent" refers to the performer of the action, which may differ from the grammatical subject.
Past continuous vs past simple 3º eso
The document discusses the differences between using the past continuous and past simple tenses in English. The past continuous is used for actions that were ongoing or in progress in the past. The past simple is used for completed actions in the past or actions that were witnessed. Both tenses can be used together, with the past continuous describing a longer ongoing action and the past simple used for a shorter action that occurred within that ongoing period. Connectives like "as", "while", and "when" are used to join clauses with different tenses.
Transitive Verb and Direct Object
This document defines and provides examples of transitive verbs and direct objects. It explains that transitive verbs are action verbs that must have a direct object, something that receives the verb's action. Direct objects can be single words like nouns or pronouns, or can include more complex structures like prepositional phrases or clauses. The document provides many examples of sentences containing transitive verbs and their direct objects to illustrate these concepts.
Simple past tense
The simple past tense is used to describe a completed activity that happened in the past. It uses the past form of verbs like "walked", "talked" and includes negatives with "did not". The simple past tense is often used with time expressions like "yesterday" or "last week" to provide context about when the activity occurred or how long it lasted. There are four past tenses in English including the simple past, past progressive, past perfect, and past perfect progressive tenses.

Examples are provided to illustrate the different uses of the passive voice, including when the agent is included or omitted. Various rules for forming the passive with different verbs and tenses are also outlined.
TRANSITIVE/INTRANSITIVE VERBS
The document discusses transitive and intransitive verbs. A transitive verb is followed by a direct object answering what or whom, like "The pilot landed the airplane." An intransitive verb does not have a direct object and the action is not passed to an object, like "The pilot landed carefully." The document then provides examples of sentences with transitive and intransitive verbs to practice identifying them.

This document discusses different types of adverb clauses. It covers adverb clauses of time that indicate when one event occurs in relation to another. It also discusses adverb clauses of reason that give a rationale for something in the main clause and usually begin with subordinators like "because", "since", or "as". Additionally, it notes that when discussing future plans, adverb clauses use present rather than future verb forms. There are also other ways to express reasons besides using adverb clauses, such as with phrases like "because of" or independent clauses joined by "so".
Min verb
Verbs express actions or states of being. There are two main types of verbs: action verbs that express physical or mental actions, and linking verbs that connect subjects to predicates without expressing action.
The main verb, or lexical verb, is the most important verb in a sentence that shows the action of the subject. Main verbs can stand alone or be helped by auxiliary verbs. There are different types of main verbs including transitive verbs that take direct objects, intransitive verbs that do not take objects, phrasal verbs made of verbs and prepositions, and non-progressive verbs that show states rather than actions.
Easiest Way To Learn Voice

It also gives sample sentences demonstrating active and passive transformations.
Types of conditionals summary and special cases
This document summarizes the different types of conditional sentences in English. There are four main types: zero conditional for facts, first conditional for likely possibilities in the present/future, second conditional for unlikely possibilities in the present/future, and third conditional for hypothetical situations in the past. Special cases include using "were" or "had" instead of "if" for a more formal tone, and using "if" with "should" to refer to accidental or chance events.
Mixedconditionalsexplanation for ss
Mixed conditionals combine elements of different conditional patterns to describe imaginary situations and results that span both the past and present. The two types are: 1) a present result of a past condition, using a third conditional to describe an imaginary past situation and a second conditional for the imaginary present result. 2) a past result of a present condition, using a second conditional for the imaginary present situation and a third conditional for the imaginary past result. Examples are provided for each type.
The Future Perfect and the Future Perfect Progressive
The document discusses how to form and use the future perfect tense in English. It states that the future perfect is formed with will/won't have + past participle of the main verb. It is used to describe an event that will be completed by or before a specified time in the future. Examples are provided such as "By next October, we will have lived here for ten years." The future perfect progressive is also mentioned but noted to be rare, using will/won't have been + verb+ing to describe an ongoing action up until a point in the future.

The document discusses the passive voice in English grammar. It explains that the passive voice is formed using some form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb, and that in passive sentences the thing receiving the action becomes the subject. It provides examples of changing sentences from active to passive voice and discusses specific cases involving verbs like "let" or verbs with two objects. The document also notes some important rules for forming passive questions and using gerunds or infinitives after certain verbs in passive constructions.
Passive voice
The document introduces passive voice and how it differs from active voice. Passive voice focuses on the subject receiving the action rather than performing it. Only sentences with transitive verbs can be changed to the passive voice. There are several uses of the passive voice, including when the doer is unimportant or unknown, or to emphasize a particular thing or person. The document also discusses the different passive tenses.
Double objectpronouns
This document discusses double object pronouns in Spanish. It explains that both direct and indirect objects can be replaced by object pronouns. It provides the direct and indirect object pronouns and notes that they come before the first conjugated verb or are attached to the end of an infinitive. An example shows replacing "el libro" with the direct object pronoun "lo" and "a mi" with the indirect object pronoun "me". It also discusses replacing "le" or "les" with "se" when it precedes a pronoun starting with L.
Passive Form or Be + Adjective?
The document discusses the differences between passive verb forms and past participles used as adjectives. A passive verb form uses "be" plus a past participle to describe an action, while a past participle as an adjective uses "be" plus a past participle to describe a state. It notes that sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish the two uses. It also discusses how passive sentences sometimes use "by" to introduce an agent, while past participles as adjectives are used with other prepositions like "with", "in", "of", etc. Finally, it provides examples of common combinations of "be" plus a past participle plus a preposition.
Present perfect
The document discusses the present perfect tense, including what it is, what it is used for, its affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms, and common expressions used with it. Specifically, it states that the present perfect tense describes recent past actions not defined in time, provides an example as "I have been to Rome in Italy", and explains that its affirmative form uses the subject + have/has + past participle, negative uses subject + have/has + not + past participle, and interrogative uses have/has + subject + past participle + ?.
Using Adverb clauses with time
This document discusses the structure and use of the second conditional in English grammar. The second conditional is used to talk about unreal or hypothetical situations in the present or future. It consists of an "if" clause using the simple past tense, followed by a main clause using "would" and the base verb form. Some examples are provided to illustrate how the second conditional expresses unlikely or impossible scenarios.
Second Conditional and time clauses
The document discusses the structure and use of second conditional sentences in English. It explains that second conditional sentences are used to talk about unreal or hypothetical situations in the present or future. The structure consists of an "if" clause using the past tense verb form followed by a main clause using "would" plus the base verb form. Examples are provided such as "If I had a million dollars, I would buy a big house" to illustrate talking about an unlikely present situation. The document also discusses using various time expressions like "when", "before", "after", "while" in adverb clauses and the tenses that should be used with each.
Verb Forms And Tenses
The document provides rules of thumb for verb forms and tenses in English, including when to use present, past, present perfect, past perfect, future perfect, present participle and past participle verb forms. It also discusses when to use the subjunctive mood and provides examples to practice applying the rules.
Conditional statement and material implication
Conditional statements relate two statements where the second statement is contingent on the first being true. They are represented by "if-then" phrases or a conditional arrow. The statement before the "if" is called the antecedent, and the statement after the "then" is called the consequent. Material implication describes the relationship between the antecedent and consequent, where a conditional statement is only false if the antecedent is true and consequent is false. There are different types of implications including logical, definitional, causal, and decisional.
Past conditionals
Past conditionals are used to speculate about hypothetical past situations and their probable results. They contain the word "if" followed by the simple past tense in the if-clause, and the conditional "would" plus the base verb form in the result clause. Examples include "If you went to bed earlier, you would wake up earlier too", "If Paul spoke Italian, he would live in Italy", and "If Paul worked, he would have enough money to buy a house".
Passive voice
The document discusses the passive voice in English and how it is formed from the active voice. It provides examples of transforming sentences from active to passive voice for different verb tenses. It also discusses some specific cases involving verbs that take objects or prepositions, phrasal verbs, verbs followed by infinitives or gerunds, and idiomatic expressions. The key points are that the passive is formed with "be" plus the past participle of the main verb, the subject of the active sentence becomes the object in the passive, and the agent is optional and introduced by "by" if included.

Parts of speech
We are fitted with language to share ideas. Language has parts of speech that describe words' functions: nouns name things, verbs describe actions, and adjectives modify nouns. Knowing parts of speech helps discuss language and improves writing. The document defines parts of speech like nouns, verbs, adjectives and their functions, and provides examples. It also briefly covers other concepts like tense, clauses and phrases.
The passive voice
The document discusses the passive voice and how it is formed by changing the direct complement of the active sentence to the subject of the passive sentence. It provides examples of changing sentences from active to passive voice, such as "Mexicans speak Spanish" becoming "Spanish is spoken by Mexicans" in the passive. The auxillary verb "be" is used in the correct tense and the main verb is changed to the past participle form. The subject of the active sentence becomes the complement of the passive sentence, introduced by "by".
How to differentiate between Past tense and Past Participle.pdf
The document discusses the difference between past tense and past participle in English. Past tense is used to describe actions or events that have already occurred in the past. It is formed by adding "-ed" to most regular verbs. Past participle is the form of the verb used with helping verbs like "have" and "had" to form compound tenses like present perfect and past perfect. While past tense can stand alone, past participle must be used with a helping verb. Examples are provided to illustrate the differences between using past tense and past participle in sentences.
Passive voice explanation
