Passive and Reading

Starter: no chromebooks!

1: Write down the three things a passive sentence should have.

2: Write down the four steps to turn an Active into a Passive sentence.

3: Turn this Active sentence into a Passive one:

We are taking my mother on vacation to Germany next summer.

Write down the three things a passive sentence should have.

A Passive sentence should have the following:

1. The agent is NOT at the beginning of the sentence (or used before the verb)
2. There is a form of "to be"
3. The main verb is used in the Past Participle

Write down the four steps to turn an Active into a Passive sentence.

Active to Passive

1. Check the tense.
2. Switch Subject and Object.
3. Add "to be" in tense 1.
4. Put main verb in Past Participle.

Make Passive (don't forget capital letters and interpunction):
We are taking my mother on vacation to Germany next summer.

Now, let's make Passive sentences

We are in front of Ali’s house where in a moment a package ...... (to deliver).
Which tense should we use?

1. Present Simple
2. Future Will
3. Present Continuous
4. Past Continuous

What is the correct form for "to be" in that same sentence?

1. is
2. will being
3. am going to
4. will be

What is the past participle of "deliver"?

So the answer is...
We are in front of Ali’s house where in a moment a package ........ (to deliver)

Ali ......(to know)
for creating revolutionary dishes in his futuristic kitchen.
Which tense should we use?

1. Present Simple
2. Future Will
3. Present Continuous
4. Past Continuous

What is the correct form of "to be" in that same sentence?

1. am
2. bes
3. is
4. being

What is the past participle of "know"?

So the answer is...
Ali ...... (to know)
for creating revolutionary dishes in his futuristic kitchen.
