Passive Voice: An Overview
Passive voice is a grammatical construction where the subject of the sentence is acted upon, rather than doing the action. In a passive sentence, the subject receives the action of the verb.

Slide 4 - Slide

Explain the concept of passive voice and provide examples. Encourage students to participate by asking them to identify examples of passive voice.
Forming Passive Sentences
To form a passive sentence, you need a form of the verb 'to be' and the past participle of the main verb. The subject of the sentence is often preceded by the preposition 'by'.

Slide 5 - Slide

Provide a step-by-step guide to forming passive sentences. Emphasize the importance of using the correct form of 'to be' and the past participle. Provide examples for students to practice forming passive sentences.
Active vs Passive Voice
In an active sentence, the subject is performing the action, while in a passive sentence, the subject is receiving the action. Active sentences usually have a more direct and energetic tone, while passive sentences can be more impersonal or objective.

Slide 6 - Slide

Compare and contrast active and passive voice. Encourage students to identify the tone and purpose of each sentence construction.
Advanced Passive Forms
Advanced passive forms include the present and past perfect passive, the modal passive, and the passive infinitive. These constructions allow for more nuanced and complex sentences.

Slide 7 - Slide

Introduce the concept of advanced passive forms and explain why they are useful. Provide examples and ask students to try forming their own advanced passive sentences.
Present Perfect Passive
The present perfect passive is formed with the present tense of 'to have' + been + past participle. It is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues up to the present.

Slide 8 - Slide

Provide clear examples of the present perfect passive and explain its uses. Ask students to practice forming present perfect passive sentences.
Past Perfect Passive
The past perfect passive is formed with the past tense of 'to have' + been + past participle. It is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action.

Slide 9 - Slide

Provide clear examples of the past perfect passive and explain its uses. Ask students to practice forming past perfect passive sentences.
Modal Passive
The modal passive is formed with a modal verb (can, could, may, might, must, should, or would) + be + past participle. It is used to describe a possibility or necessity.

Slide 10 - Slide

Provide clear examples of the modal passive and explain its uses. Ask students to practice forming modal passive sentences.
Passive Infinitive
The passive infinitive is formed with 'to be' + past participle. It is used to describe an action that has not yet been completed.

Slide 11 - Slide

Provide clear examples of the passive infinitive and explain its uses. Ask students to practice forming passive infinitive sentences.
Changing Active Voice to Passive Voice
To change an active sentence to a passive one, you need to make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence. The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the preposition 'by'. The verb is changed to the appropriate form of 'to be' + past participle.

Slide 12 - Slide

Provide a step-by-step guide to changing active voice to passive voice. Encourage students to practice changing active sentences to passive ones.
Identifying Passive Voice
To identify passive voice, look for the form of 'to be' + past participle. Also, look for the preposition 'by' before the subject.

Slide 13 - Slide

Provide examples of passive sentences and ask students to identify the form of 'to be' and the past participle. Encourage them to look for the preposition 'by' before the subject.
Practice Exercise
Complete the following sentences with the appropriate passive form: 1. The cake ________ (bake) by my mom. 2. The report ________ (write) by the intern. 3. The car ________ (repair) by the mechanic.

Slide 14 - Slide

Provide a practice exercise for students to complete. Encourage them to share their answers with the class for review.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common mistakes include using the wrong form of 'to be', using the wrong past participle, and forgetting to include the preposition 'by'.

Slide 15 - Slide

Identify common mistakes that students may make when forming passive sentences. Encourage them to be mindful of these mistakes when practicing.
Passive Voice in Writing
Passive voice can be useful in writing when you want to emphasize the action or object of a sentence, rather than the person performing the action. However, it can also make writing sound dull or impersonal if overused.

Slide 16 - Slide

Discuss the use of passive voice in writing and provide examples. Encourage students to experiment with using passive voice in their own writing.
Active Voice in Writing
Active voice is generally preferred in writing because it is more direct and engaging. It can also help to clarify the meaning of a sentence and make it easier to understand.

Slide 17 - Slide

Discuss the use of active voice in writing and provide examples. Encourage students to experiment with using active voice in their own writing.
Quiz
True or False: The present perfect passive is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. Answer: False

Slide 18 - Slide

Provide a quiz for students to test their knowledge of passive voice and advanced passive forms. Review the answers as a class.
Summary
Passive voice is a grammatical construction where the subject of the sentence is acted upon, rather than doing the action. Advanced passive forms include the present and past perfect passive, the modal passive, and the passive infinitive. When using passive voice in writing, be mindful of the tone and purpose of the sentence.
