Hello to all my EH2 students,
How are you? Here are the lesson plans for 10/9:
And 10/10:
We will study more the passive form next week. What is the passive form? I will show you here:
The passive voice is used when we want to talk about an action. It is not important, or even known who or what is performing the action.
For example: I lost my Suica card.
The focus is on the fact that my Suica card is lost. But - I don't know how it happened.
So I can say - My Suica card was lost.
Sometimes saying something in passive is more polite than in the active voice.
For example: A mistake was made.
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not say that someone else did it (as in, "you have made a mistake").
So here is your homework to help you for next week (10/17). Change these sentences from the active voice to the passive:
They delivered the books to the room.
Someone uploaded software on some computers.
Some people protested the decision of the judge.
Examples of passive sentences taken and modified from http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/passive
I hope these exercises help you. See you next week!
