Grammar: The Passive Voice

THE PASSIVE VOICE

Structure: Subject + auxiliar verb to be + past participle

We must take into account: 

1. The CO in the active sentence is the subject in the passive sentence. 
2. The main verb is substituted by the verb to be in the same tense, and the main verb is the past participle. 
3. The subject in the main sentence is the CA in the passive. 
4. If we want to say who does the action we have to introduce it using "by".

Online activities: 

Activity 1.- The Passive Voice

Activity 2.- The Passive Voice: Present Simple

Activity 3.- The Passive Voice: Past Simple

Activity 4.- The Passive Voice: Present Perfect

Activity 5.- The Passive Voice: Future

What do you do every day?
