Period 6 Grammar (2)
Step 1 greeting & presenting
Explain that we can also use the passive voice when we want to mention the doer or agent who does something. Introduce the concept of “by” which enables us to say the name of the doer. We can use “by” to say who or what does the action.
Step 2 Teaching
Present the sample sentences in table forms to give Ss a visual support for the concept.
e.g. We speak Chinese.
Chinese is spoken by us.
Tom bought the book in a book shop yesterday.
The book was bought by Tom in a book shop yesterday
Change the active voice sentences into the passive voice sentences.
