Lessons 3 December

Hello there,
Here's the grammar on the passive and infinitive. (Should) will be posted next week!
We're nearly there!




PASSIVE

Shakespeare wrote Hamlet. (active sentence)
Agent V
Hamlet was written by Shakespeare. (passive sentence)
The passive is formed from be + past participle. (ONLY BE CHANGES!)

I was born in London. Where and when were you born? I wasn’t born in Ca.
MADE in Italy. Fiat cars ARE MADE in Italy. My watch is made in China! Is this wine made in Sardinia?
She has been to France! (Present Perfect!!!) have + past participle
This car will be made by robots in the future! (Future passive!!)


Often we don’t include the agent of the action, because we do not know the agent; the agent is not important; the agent is obvious.
They clean the offices every day.
The offices are cleaned every day.
FIATS ARE MADE IN ITALY.


USEFUL EXPRESSIONS
……………. WAS WRITTEN BY………..; WAS PAINTED BY; WAS DIRECTED BY; WAS MADE IN (YEAR, COUNTRY); was sung by

Questions (Subject questions!)
Who painted the Mona Lisa? Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa. (Remember !!!! WHAT DID Leonardo PAINT?
Who wrote Harry Potter?

INFINITIVE OF PURPOSE

We use “to + infinitive” to say why we do things.


Why did you go to the butcher’s?”
“I went to the butcher’s to buy some meat!”
They’re going to London to see the Queen!

Remember the song!!!
