Учебная презентация к уроку Passive Voice

English Grammar The Passive Voice Form verb “to be” + past participle (= V3)NB: we don’t change the past participle; we change the verb “to be” in the tense we need (Present, Past, Future). We Use The Passive Without Mentioning the Doer/Agent: We don’t know the doer of the action: The letter was written.The action is MORE important than the doer: My car has been stolen.The doer is obvious: The criminal will be arrested. We Use The Passive: We don’t want to take responsibility for the action, or the event is unpleasant: Hundreds of people were killed.In newspapers, in news headlines, in formal notices: New bill has been put forward. We Use The Passive With the Doer/Agent When : We want to emphasize the doer: The hospital was visited by the President. We want to make statements more polite/formal: My new hat was ruined. (He has ruined my new hat.) Prepositions When we mention the doer, we use BY : The elections were won BY V. Putin. When we want to mention what the agent used in order to carry out an action, we use WITN : That picture was drawn WITH a blue crayon. Reporting What People Say or Think in General We use: It is said/ believed/ claimed/ thought that … : It is claimed that economy will be/get stronger over the next few years.
