이번 세션 문법

  • In English we can talk about when A does something to B in two different ways. (Here NASA is A and the shuttle is B)

    Active voice
    NASA launched its final shuttle in 2011.

    Passive voice
    The final shuttle was launched by NASA in 2011.

    We use the passive voice when...

    • we are more interested in the action
    • the agent (or doer) is unimportant, unknown or obvious
    • we want to put the new information at the end of a sentence

    The passive is made with subject + to be + past participle

    • The shuttle was launched in 2011.
    • The bank robbers were arrested.
    • English is spoken by many people around the world.

    We can talk about the agent in a passive sentence using the word by.
