Passives

Today I’ve revised Passives form the Grammar and Vocabulary book (the orange one). Afterwards I’ve done some online exercises, which you can find under my favourite links: Interactive Quizzes --> Recognizing and Changing Passive Constructions (js)

!Watch out: (one of my usual stupid mistakes)

Active: They suggested we try a new method of checking how much we were spending.
Passive: We were recommended to try a method of checking how much we were spending.

Subject (Result) --> Action --> Agent
The window--> has been broken --> by some youngster
(Don't forget that when we use the passive we are interested in the action itself. We don't have to mention the agent, if it is not necessary)
