THE PASSIVE
FORMATION
• To be (in the appropriate tense)+past participle:
• Ex.: PRESENT SIMPLE: In Spain films are often made
with little money.
• PRESENT CONTINUOUS: A film by Spielberg is being
shot in Madrid now.
• PAST SIMPLE: Several people were killed in an
accident yesterday.
• PAST SIMPLE CONTINUOUS: Several people were
killed when the film was being made.
• PRESENT PERFECT: My car has never been stolen
• FUTURE SIMPLE: If you don’t give me the money,
you’ll be killed tomorrow.
• INFINITIVE: He has to be killed before he talks.
USE
• When the person who does the action is irrelevant,
obvious or unknown: we want to stress the object of the
action. Common in the press and for scientific processes.
Ex.: Four people were killed in a car accident.(the
important thing is their death, nobody killed them)
The bank was robbed yesterday. (we don’t know who)
The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand
(we’re talking about the film, not who made it).
The water is heated to 100 degrees.
BY
• If we want to add who, we add BY+who did the action:
The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand by
Peter Jackson.
