Grammar: passive voice
Use the passive voice when the Subject
is: ** not important **
The flag is raised every day at dawn. (who raises the flag? it doesn't matter.)
** unknown **
The victim was killed at about 9 pm yesterday. (who killed the victim? we don't know yet.)
** secret **
You broke a vase at your house and your mom comes home.
Mom: WHAT HAPPENED?!
You: The vase was broken... (who broke the vase? you did, but you dont want to tell her!)
Try to make some passive voice sentences:
ex:
I shut the door. ----> The door was shut. (use past participle)
1) You ate the pizza.
2) She threw the ball into the field.
3) The dog ate my homework.
Good luck!
