1.How to make the passive 2.When we want to give more importance to the action instead of the person who performs it we use the passive voice. 3.Use of the passive voice: To transform an active sentence to passive we consider the following points: -The subject of a verb in passive voice corresponds to the direct object of a verb in active voice. -The passive voice is formed using the verb “to be” + the main verb participle (past participle). -The subject of the main sentence becomes the complement agent of the passive. -To say who person does the action we use “by”. 4. Present Simple I write a letter to Charles A letter is written to Charles (by me) Past Simple You ate some fruit yesterday Some fruit was eaten yesterday (by you) Present Perfect She has drunk a lot of tea A lot of tea has been drunk by her Past Perfect Simple Anna had sung an emotional song An emotional song had been sung by Anna Future (Will) We will take a family picture A family picture will be taken by us Future (Going to) They are going to have a trip A trip is going to be had by them Modal verb I must write a letter/ I can write a letter/ I should write a letter The letter must be written/ The letter can be written/ The letter should be written . 5.They buy the house - they house is bought He ate all of the cookies-All of the cookies were eaten. The letter was mailed for Peter -Peter miled the letter. A mistake has been made for Anna. Anna has made a mistake. They use the yen in Japan- The yen is used in Japan.
