							| Passive questions 
 |  
							| Hi dear colleagues, I need your help. I �ve been looking for an online exercise on forming passive questions (only in the past simple and present simple), but I haven �t been able to find anything suitable.
 
 I need something for lower intermediate students, who have seen the passive only in these two tenses.
 
 The exercise has to be online/interactive (not word or pdf), because I have to post it on the moodle platform I use with my classes.
 
 Thank you for your help!!

							| Hello So long I haven �t heard from you -  my friend from moodle platform, heheh.
 Hope you are doing well.
 
 What about a multiple choice with Hotpotatoes, or matching, gapfilling? I am not a fan of hotpotatoes, myself, but sometimes it is rather useful.
 
 Good luck
 
 Linda
 
 Edit
 I forgot, if you go for a multiple choice there is something easier and prettier; have a look here

 You just write the questions, check the roght answers and then copy the embed code and paste it in the moodle post.
 I�ve been using it, both in the blog and the moodle.

							| Thank you to both of you for the tips! 
 Yes Linda, I had had thought of creating an exercise myself, but I �m so busy with the platform (forums, posts, exercises, technical problems ....:-(( )  that I hardly have the time to create my own exercises! I know eslvideo, it �s just a question of having very little time, unfortunately.
 Keep up the good work!

							| Dear friends, 
 I �m teaching passive voice to my students. I got confused a little bit as for the following two sentences. Which one is grammatically correct?
 - My leg broke two weeks ago.
 - My leg was broken two weeks ago.
 For me the first one seems to be better and I  have doubts about the correctness of the second one.
 I need your kind help!!!
 Thanks

							| My legs broke two weeks ago doesn�t sound right.   I broke my leg two weeks ago,   The passive of the above sentence is; My leg was broken two weeks ago.   All th,e best   |  24 May 2011
