Make a passive:

Change into passive:

Passive: what, why & when

What: A sentence is passive when the subject of the sentence receives someone or something else's action. 

Why :

• it creates more distance/it sounds more business-like
• you focus on what happened and not on who 'did' the action.

When: for instance in essays and papers, newspapers

Man charged in murder investigation

A man has been charged in connection with the investigation into the murder of a 52-year-old man in Dublin's south inner city on Monday. The man, who is in his 40s, was arrested yesterday and questioned at Pearse Street Garda Station.He has since been charged and is due in court this morning.

A woman in her 30s, who was also arrested as part of the investigation, has been released without charge and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. 

Isaac Horgan was found sitting on a couch in his flat at Markievicz House at around 11am on Monday. He had been stabbed in the upper leg and was pronounced dead a short time later in hospital.

                                                                                                                                                      --  RTE - 31 March 2021

Read the text, list all passive forms and explain which tense form is used and why.

Active: how

How:

Example:

John carried  Jill  across the threshold. 

subject / onderwerp =  John

verb / werkwoord = carried

direct object / lijdend voorwerp = Jill

                         

Passive: how

How:

Example:

John carried  Jill across the threshold 

Jill was carried across the threshold by John

subject / onderwerp = Jill

verb / werkwoord = was carried

add 'by' 

                         

Do you still have the handout?

De tijd van het nieuwe 'to be' werkwoord in je passieve zin  hangt af van de tijd van het werkwoord in je actieve zin. 

Bijv.

John dropped Jill in the living room = past simple

                 Jill was dropped in the living room (by John)

How to recognize a passive sentence...

- Check if there is a form of 'to be' used (am, are, is, was, were, been)

- Is it followed by a participle?

- Is it followed by 'by + noun or pronoun? If not, can it be followed by  'by zombies'?

Are all answers 'yes'? Congratulations, you have a passive sentence.

Conditionals (work together)

- I am going to show you a list with lines from song lyrics

- You will see one half of a conditional sentence

- Do NOT look them up on the Internet!

1. use your grammar booklet to find out which conditional it is 
2. finish the sentence, using the appropriate conditional
3. write down the phrase + which conditional (no.)

- Listen to the music fragments

- write down what you hear

- check if it corresponds with the phrase you made

- bonus points if you can guess the artist's name  :)

Correct use of conditional: 1 point

Name of the artist: 1 point

(maximum: 20 points)
