1 Teaching Tips GRAMMAR RULES Active and Passive sentences usually mean the same but with a different focus. Active: Janice played the piano at the recital. (Janice is the focus) Passive: The piano was played by Janice at the recital. (The piano is the focus.) Form the passive voice with the form of the verb be + the past participle. The story was written by a famous author. The cookies were baked in the oven. Use the passive voice when it is not important or when you do not know who the person or thing doing the action (the agent). is. The company was founded in (I don t know who founded it.) Use the passive voice when you want to avoid mentioning the agent. A few errors were made. (It is not known who made the errors.) Use the passive voice with by if you want to mention the agent. The story book was written by a well-known children s author. Mention the agent: When the agent is the name of someone such as an artist, writer or inventor who created something. The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. The time (e.g. Yesterday) is usually at the end of the sentence.
2 Exercise 1 Look at the following passive voice sentences made with the key words. You will notice that the past participle swept does not change. Only the form of the verb to be changes. Key words: Mum / sweep / floor The floor is swept by mum every day. (Present simple) The floor is being swept by mum right now. (Present continuous) The floor was swept by mum yesterday. (Past simple) The floor will be swept by mum later. (Future) Using the key words below, write sentences in passive voice with the correct tenses. Put the time (e.g. yesterday) at the end of each sentence. 1. Dad / wash / car (at 7 p.m. yesterday) 2. Robbers / steal / jewels (yesterday) 3. technician / repair / car (now) 4. children / eat / all the sweets (last night) 5. Most people / speak / English / in Singapore 6. Miss Pang / hand out / our exam papers (later)
3 Exercise 11 Complete the following text using the correct form of the verbs in brackets. Natural Disasters Natural disasters cannot (avoid) but preventing global warming from increasing further (be) something we can do for the sake of future generations. Scientists (conclude) that because of the gradual increase in global temperatures, some countries (experience) more serious hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. For decades, (burn) fuels in vehicles and power plants, cutting down forests and incinerating non-biodegradable items (add) more carbon dioxide to the environment. Nitrous oxide and three other fluorinated industrial gases have also been contributed by human activities. These cover the earth's surface, (cause) it to trap more heat. As air pollution can remain in the atmosphere for many years, temperatures (continue) to climb steadily for the foreseeable future. Everyone can help to save the earth by reducing, reusing and recycling things. By using alternatives like natural energy such as wind, solar and water, we can cut down the emission of heat-trapping gases (release) into the environment. Non-biodegradable items like plastic bags and foam boxes can be reused. Items like paper, cans and electronic parts can (recycle). As long as each individual (do) his bit of work in taking up the responsibility to prevent global warming, we will definitely be able to save the earth and foster a closer and stronger relationship with one another.
