353. 21:06Number three, h I don't know how to
354. 21:09pronounce that. Rearrange, I guess.
355. 21:11Rearrange the sentence. Focus on the
356. 21:14receiver of the action.
357. 21:16Okay, thank you. So yeah actually you
358. 21:19know like first we need to know if the
359. 21:21the sentence is it active voice or
360. 21:23passive voice but we're going to analyze
361. 21:26later how right we use the verb to be
362. 21:28and past participle all the time right
363. 21:32to be and participle you know to be and
364. 21:34participle to be and participle please
365. 21:36memorize that right I'm going to give

369. 21:44continue with the next one when to use
370. 21:47passive Please.
371. 21:49>> Sure. Okay. First of all, uh first
372. 21:53emphasize the action when the action is
373. 21:55more important than the actor.
374. 21:58Second, unknown actor when the actor is
375. 22:02not unknown or unimportant. And number
376. 22:05three is formal writing often used in
377. 22:08scientific or formal context for the
378. 22:10object for objectivity.
379. 22:13>> Thank you. So well we use the passive
380. 22:16voice for formal writing good you know
381. 22:18so it's something academic a thesis an
382. 22:21article uh in the news for example right
383. 22:25unknown actor when the actor is unknown
384. 22:27right but it depends right I will give

402. 23:13Tell me in the chat of teams try to do
403. 23:16it
404. 23:19in English. How can we say that? So two
405. 23:22thieves were arrested or okay arrested.

408. 23:30Good. Lisa Tatiana. So two thieves were
409. 23:34captured. Perfect. Two thieves were
410. 23:35captured. Another sentence. How do you

414. 23:5510 students were interviewed, right?
415. 23:58Okay. Good. Good. 10 students were
416. 24:00interviewed, right? Perfect. So far so
417. 24:03good, you know. So far so good. Another
418. 24:05one. How do you say, for example,
419. 24:19How do you say that?
420. 24:24Well, just in case if you want to say
421. 24:26like metro, it's like subway. It's not a
422. 24:30subway, but anyways, you know,
423. 24:33metro buggas subway. Yeah. Is being
424. 24:36built perfect, you know. So you see that
425. 24:39actually we use the grammar, we use the
426. 24:41verb to be and the participle, right?
427. 24:44Where is the past simple of the verb to
428. 24:46be. An interview is actually the
429. 24:48participle is being is a present
430. 24:51continuous of the verb to be. Build
431. 24:53participle, right? The last example uh
432. 24:57let's see uh I don't know guys uh
433. 25:03how do you say for example
434. 25:11How do you say that one? Please tell me.
435. 25:23How do you say that? Tell me in the chat
436. 25:26or activate the microphone if you want,
437. 25:27right? It's up to you. A new bridge will
438. 25:31be built. A new bridge will be built.
439. 25:33Perfect. Perfect. Eileen, Lee, Johanna,
440. 25:37Laura. Perfect. With the build. Okay. Or
441. 25:40constructed. Okay. Good. Perfect. So,
442. 25:42you see actually
443. 25:44I have a question. In what context are
444. 25:48we using the passive voice or the
445. 25:50sentences in a normal life or or I mean
446. 25:53like in a normal conversation or what
447. 25:55kind of uh in what kind of context do we
448. 25:58use these structures?
449. 26:01Uh George, go ahead.
450. 26:04Okay. Uh I'm going to make my guess. I I
451. 26:07would say maybe in academic h sentences.
452. 26:11I guess maybe if you are going to take a
453. 26:14a an exam or maybe if you are if you
454. 26:19want that in the sentence is most
455. 26:22important the action than the person who
456. 26:24makes the action. I guess I don't know.
457. 26:27>> Perfect. Yeah, that's perfect. you know,
458. 26:29so please bear in mind that the passive
459. 26:31voice is something academic.
460. 26:34This this topic is academic, you know,
461. 26:36it's not something that we normally use
462. 26:39on a daily basis. We can use it of
463. 26:42course, right? We can use it, but uh
464. 26:45it's not so common, right?
465. 26:47uh some examples and for example if you
466. 26:50have a conversation with a person do you
467. 26:52do you tell the person I don't know like
468. 26:55uh for example do you say like I did the
469. 26:57homework or the homework was done by me
470. 27:01what is more common or what is normal
471. 27:04right what's the normal way we do it
472. 27:06guys
473. 27:10>> yeah the first one right the first one I
474. 27:13did the homework right we never say like
475. 27:16the homework poor was done by me because
476. 27:18it sounds like you know like uh cringy
477. 27:21like weird right so it depends on the
478. 27:24context we use we use passive voice
479. 27:26mostly in academic context rather than
480. 27:29in a normal conversation right
481. 27:32okay what else we have here I'm going to
482. 27:35show you the grammar and some other
483. 27:37things so I need another volunteer
484. 27:39please who wants to read I I need
485. 27:45who wants to read this slide. Any
486. 27:48volunteers
487. 27:51who wants to read?
488. 27:54Uh Johanna, good. Continue please with
489. 27:58this slide.
490. 28:04>> It's simple in different context. News
491. 28:07report. The bank was robbed yesterday.
492. 28:10Focus on the event, not the robber.
493. 28:13Science paper. The sample was analyzed
494. 28:16in the lab. Objective actor may be
495. 28:19irrelevant.
496. 28:20Formal letter. Your request to submit.
497. 28:24Polite indirect in comment.
498. 28:28>> Perfect. So you see guys, it's
499. 28:30everything uh let's say formal or
500. 28:33academic. News report it's academic.
501. 28:36Science paper academic. Formal letter
502. 28:39academic. Right? So, any questions so
503. 28:44far or no questions so far about the
504. 28:46use, not the grammar, but the use. Any
505. 28:48questions about that?
506. 28:51Let's see
507. 28:53questions. Feel free to ask the
508. 28:55questions. Any questions? Uh, yes, I got
509. 28:57a question. Um okay my question is
510. 29:02mainly if you if you will take an
511. 29:05international test I don't know ABIS or
512. 29:07any test
513. 29:10it this test gives you more points I
514. 29:12guess if you use this kind of advanced
515. 29:15structures
516. 29:17>> yeah if you use the passive voice in an
517. 29:19academic test like the ISO to the yeah
518. 29:22if you use it in a in a speaking part or
519. 29:24in a written part you're going to get a
520. 29:27better score for sure for Sure. Right.
521. 29:30However, don't overuse the passive
522. 29:32voice. Right? Don't overuse it. And we
523. 29:34need to use the passive voice in a
524. 29:36logical way. Right? For example, uh if
525. 29:39you are having a speaking in in the app
526. 29:42or in the ISS test is not common. For
527. 29:45example, the example that I gave some
528. 29:47minutes ago is not common to say like I
529. 29:50don't know the the sandwich was eaten by
530. 29:52me. Uh the homework was done by me. No,
531. 29:54this is not common. Right? So you can
532. 29:56use the passive voice in a coherent way,
533. 29:59right? I don't know, for example,
534. 30:02um I was in a competition, right? I was
535. 30:05in a competition. That's past past
536. 30:07tense, you know? Uh I was in a
537. 30:09competition and I won the competition
538. 30:11and I was given I was given a trophy,
539. 30:15right? You know what the meaning of that
540. 30:16sentence is, guys? I I'm going to copy.
541. 30:18I was given I was given a trophy, right?
542. 30:23Do you know the meaning of that
543. 30:24sentence? I was given a trophy
544. 30:28or no
545. 30:30>> may I don't
546. 30:30>> I was given a trophy exactly Johanna
547. 30:33perfect yeah and that is passive voice
548. 30:36and that's a normal passive voice in a
549. 30:38normal conversation right you can say
550. 30:40yeah I was in a competition uh I don't
551. 30:42know let's tell me about your a sport
552. 30:45that you like I really enjoy soccer
553. 30:48because uh I practiced with my friends
554. 30:49and I we started a competition in which
555. 30:52I was given a trophy because we one,
556. 30:54right? So, you see that that passive
557. 30:56voice is a very uh advanced structure.
558. 31:00So, yeah, George, you can use the
559. 31:02passive voice. It's a good
560. 31:03recommendation, but you need to know how
561. 31:06to use it, right?
562. 31:09>> Okay. Thank you.
563. 31:10>> Is that clear, George?
564. 31:12>> Yeah, I was given a trophy. You know the
565. 31:15meaning like med. So, how do you say for
566. 31:18example
567. 31:19uh medion?
568. 31:22Uh I don't know.
569. 31:26Uh
570. 31:28I don't know. Another verb. Let's say uh
571. 31:34uh no. How do you say for example?
572. 31:39>> Can I try?
573. 31:41>> Yeah. Sure. Sure. Go ahead.
574. 31:43>> Okay. I don't know if if I'm mistaken,
575. 31:45but I think maybe I was called. Yes.
576. 31:49Something like this. I was called.
577. 31:50>> Yes. Okay.
578. 31:51>> Yeah. Yeah. I was called, right? And
579. 31:55it's weird, you know, because if you
580. 31:56translate this English, it's like,
581. 31:59but yeah, that's the translation, right?
582. 32:02I was called, right? I was given. I was
583. 32:04called. I was told um for example, I
584. 32:08have never been given flowers, right? I
585. 32:11I have never been given, right? So, you
586. 32:14can use the passive voice with whatever
587. 32:15structure, past, present, future,
588. 32:18whatever. But the idea is to use it
589. 32:20properly. Right? So in order to continue
590. 32:22with the next one, common mistakes to
591. 32:25avoid. Uh could you please read Karen?
592. 32:27Could you help me with that one?
593. 32:31>> Sure.
594. 32:33>> Um overuse.
595. 32:36Don't use the passive voice too often.
596. 32:39Overuse can make writing dull, unclear.
597. 32:44Avoid ambiguity.
598. 32:46I'm sorry I'm not able to see. Um all
599. 32:49right.
600. 32:49>> Oh yeah, it's perfect.
601. 32:50>> Avoid ambiguity. Ensure the sentence is
602. 32:54clear even if passive in passive form in
603. 32:58correct formation. Double check the to
604. 33:01be verb and past participle for
605. 33:04correctness.
606. 33:06>> Thank you. Yeah, good. So yeah, h before
607. 33:09the practice I want to show you. Give me
608. 33:12a second. I'm going to open the link.
609. 33:13I'm going to open this link but just
610. 33:14wait a little bit at just to practice
611. 33:17today. But wait, it's charging. Well, I
612. 33:21leave it charge, right? Let's see before
613. 33:24this practice. Uh, look at this. This is
614. 33:26like a chart of grammar with some
615. 33:28examples like you have like a present
616. 33:31simple. Reporters write news reports.
617. 33:34Passive voice in present simple. News
618. 33:36reports are written. Why present simple?
619. 33:39Because the verb to be is in present.
620. 33:42You see are and we use always the
621. 33:45participle are written, right? The
622. 33:47present continuous is being ing and the
623. 33:51participle baked, right? Past simple
624. 33:55hire, you know, like so new workers were
625. 33:57hired by the company. You see? So all
626. 34:01the time we use the verb to be in in
627. 34:04present, past, future, but all the time
628. 34:06the verb to be and we use the participle
629. 34:10verb like helped, hired, baked, ridden,
630. 34:14discussed, delivered, uh, etc., etc.
631. 34:17Right? For future, the company will
632. 34:19hire. So new workers will be hired by
633. 34:22the company. Right? So this is like a
634. 34:25chart. I don't know if you have any
635. 34:26questions so far.
636. 34:28Any questions so far, guys? or no
637. 34:30questions.

641. 34:42Activate your mic. Questions? No
642. 34:44questions?
643. 34:46I think not so far. Right. So, let's do

645. 34:52together. Let's practice the present
646. 34:54perfect in passive voice. Right. So,

684. 36:55using passive voice in present perfect
685. 36:58like have been or has been. You see like
686. 37:01present perfect because we use have or
687. 37:03has and the verb to be. We use the verb
688. 37:05to be in this case in present perfect.
689. 37:07So has been and the participle heard

803. 50:37Congrats. Winners, right? The others
804. 50:40obviously, thank you for for the
805. 50:42participation. Right. So, how do you
806. 50:45feel? I want to to hear, you know, like
807. 50:48how do you feel? Easy or more or less?
808. 50:53>> How do you feel with that?
809. 50:54>> Confused.
810. 50:55>> It is
811. 50:56>> confused.
812. 50:58>> It's
813. 51:00why
814. 51:03>> I felt confused sometimes when how to
815. 51:07use the past and um and the present
816. 51:11and that's why I was confused.
817. 51:14>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Good.
818. 51:17Actually, it's a topic that we need to
819. 51:19practice a lot if we want to master it,
820. 51:21you know. And first, for example, if you
821. 51:25don't master uh the structures, for
822. 51:28example, present perfect, past simple,
823. 51:30uh past perfect. If you don't master the
824. 51:32structure in active voice, it's totally
825. 51:35hard to do it in passive voice, right?
826. 51:37However, you did a good job, you know.
827. 51:39Uh George, go ahead.
828. 51:43>> Yes. I just want to say that at the
829. 51:46beginning I start well but after the the
830. 51:4911 or 12 I guess I I was really
831. 51:52confused. I I have to practice more
832. 51:54about the passive voice and as you are
833. 51:57mentioning we have to practice it every
834. 51:59day if we were to master it but I would
835. 52:02like of course as you are saying give us
836. 52:04some advice in order to to improve this.
837. 52:08Okay, sure. Right. Well, some advice.
838. 52:11Well, actually like practice makes
839. 52:13perfect, you know, like you can practice
840. 52:15with SR resources from I mean like more
841. 52:18quizzes if you want to practice cahoots
842. 52:21or self-study. I don't know. I can
843. 52:23actually I will send you if you want
844. 52:26some resources in order to maybe not
845. 52:29practice but to review the the topic.
846. 52:32But yeah, it's a matter of I mean like
847. 52:34the more you do it, the the easier it's
848. 52:36going to be. So yeah, and not only with
849. 52:39the passive voice, but the in general,
850. 52:41right? Because the passive voice it's so
851. 52:43big, you know, it's big because it's
852. 52:45with all the tenses with present simple,
853. 52:46present continuous, future, present
854. 52:48perfect, past perfect. So it's
855. 52:50extensive, you know, that's why yeah, I
856. 52:54really appreciate your comments, George.
857. 52:56That's good. I will try to search and
858. 52:58share with you some extra resources just
859. 53:01to help you with that. Right. Okay guys,

867. 53:20right? You know guys, it's valuable for
