Passive voice doubts
|
|
Hello colleagues, today when I was correcting passive sentences with my students I "suffered"some doubts. I am going to write the active sentences: Anna blew all the ballons for Peter`s party. He has broken his relationship with her. My sister is going to buy a new dress for the party We are catching the nine o`clock bus to Grafton street. They have found an important treassure in my city. An expert is giving a lecture on antique cars. They are going to to deliver the new computers next week. The problem for me was that I am not sure where the agent goes in the sentece when the passive subject is long. His relationship with her has been broken by him was my answer. Could yo please tell me the correct order? Thanks so much for your help and wonderful site. |

I would say "Their relationship was broken off by him," although I think it would sound better to say "the relationship was ended by him." Be careful about the balloons though. We blow up balloons, meaning to inflate them. The answer would be "The balloons (for Peter´s party) were blown up by Anne." I hope that helps. |

Some think that this is an adjective but it is, in fact, a verb to do with brewing beer. It is usually used in the passive to indicate that the beer is fully prepared for shipping after all the sediment, or scum, has been removed from the tank and the beer is ready to be placed into barrels. The beer has been scumfished.  |

Penpals!
|
|
Hello, dear colleages! I´m from Russia! Looking for penpals for my kids (2nd, 3rd year of learning English). They are about 8-9 y.o. I have about 40 kids. The idea is to exchange real drawings with minimal text. We´ll divide kids into pairs, help them prepare real paper letters, put them in a big envelope and send it by mail. Who´s in?)) |

Recently someone was looking for children´s stories sites. I just discovered this one today: There are books for all ages and best of all "There are no restrictions on the use of these files," so we can base worksheets on them. |
