Do you know who this lesson was made by? If you don’t recognize the passive structure, then it’s time we start the lesson and teach you about the passive voice in English.
mmm , i was before kind of confusion abt passive , but now iam quite ok
vxgan
ya,its gud but,what about the rest of the other tenses.
such as
present continous,and model auxiliaries??????
i need more lectures on passive plzzzzzzz
Mahvish
@Mahvish
with the present continuous tense
(is/are + being + P.P)
eg.> changes that are being wrought…
with modal verbs
(can/must + be + P.P)
eg.> food production can be increased.
> you must be restrained

“Your teaching is excellent! I’m very grateful to you. When I started, my speaking was not good. Now I speak English fluently. I never translate. I speak automatically, just like you said I would!”
Usman Khan
I’m a student from China and I am surprised by James’ teaching that it just showed out a completely different way on demonstrating passive voice from others.I always heard from teachers about how to use it rather than why we need this in some situations.James explained basic logic of English,which is actually something I need to know,motivating my passion.3q so much.
