Passive voice
Abstract
This material is for students to practice the use of the
passive strucures in present and past to give more importance to
the objects. Passive voice consists of the verb to be, as helping
verb, and the participle of the action verbs. It is a structure that can
have different combinations depending on the tense to be used.
The context that is being used for this material is inventions, but
other common contexts for passive voice are movies, books, arts,
news reports, etc.. Some examples about these last topics will be
included as well for more practice. Students can compare this
strucuture to Spanish since there is an equivalent in our mother
tongue. Also, learners will identify common verbs to use with
passive.
