Unit 5 lesson 5 - Short yes/no answers en bijwoorden

• Engels
• Middelbare school
• vmbo t
• Leerjaar 3

Uitleg:

Het is in het Engels niet beleefd om alleen maar met yes of no te antwoorden. In plaats daarvan gebruik je een korte zin:

Ja- antwoorden maak je zo: Yes, + voornaamwoord + het eerste werkwoord uit de vraagzin.

Nee- antwoorden maak je zo: No, + voornaamwoord+ het eerste werkwoord uit de vraagzin + not / n't 

Grammar: short yes/no answers

Can we leave early today?   Yes, you can / No, you can't 

Would you like some chocolate?    Yes, I would / No, I wouldn't

1. passive
2. active

Make a passive:
Lots of books ... (buy) by my father every year.

1. are bought
2. is bought
3. were bought
4. have been bought

Since "every year" suggests a present simple tense, we use:

are (because "books" is plural)

bought (past participle of "buy"

Make a passive sentence:
Lots of books ... (read) by children in 1890.

1. are read
2. is read
3. were read
4. have been read

The sentence is in passive voice (focus on "books").

The action happened in 1890 (past time), so we use past simple passive:

was/were + past participle

"Books" is plural, so we use "were" + "read" (past participle of "read" – same spelling, but pronounced like "red"

The emails are sent by the secretary now
