INTRODUCING
The passive construction in English
occurs in as many as 5% to 10% of the sentences, but it is frequently avoided
by teachers, not so much because it is a difficult construction to learn or to
teach, but more because it is a difficult construction to “explain”. That
really passive i only necessary to show how to form it and when to use it.
Illustrating how and when it used can be done easily, even with lower
intermediate.
The lesson on introducing and
practicing the passive is in two segment. Although both segments,
simultaneously ilustrate how it is formed and when it is used, the first
segment is in the present progressive, while the second segment is in the past
tense.
Picture is scene which features a dog, a policemen, a
mugger, and a little old lady. The only now word that we need to be taught is
probably the word mugger. We are going to present scene in the picture to
students, adding one character at a time. In your head, pick out four
small,moveable objects to present each of the four characters. Alternately,
draw a similar stick. Figure on the broad, again adding one character at a
time.
The last step is to switch back and
forth between the two sets of questions, producing active or passive answer
depending upon the view point set up by the questions.

DISCUSSION
Only active voice
verbs have been discussed until the present lesson. The passive form is used
more frequently in writing then in conversation. However, it should be used
sprangly and only when its use accomplishes a spesific purpose.
A verb in the passive
voice expreses an action done to its subject, and a verb in the active voice
expresses an action done by its subject.
The passive voice is
composed of some form of the verb form of the verb.
For example :


The
passive voice emphasizes the person or thing receiving the action. It may used
when the speaker does not know or does not wish to say who performed the
action.
subject
Passive
voice: a window was broken
by someone last night.
Subject object
Active
voice : someone broke
a window last night.
In
general, we should avoid using the passive voice because it makes our waiting
sound weak and awkward.
Using
the active voice helps make your writing direct and forceful. For example :
This
house was built in
1930.
Was built is passive. Compare
active and passive :
Subject object
Somebody
built this house in 1930. (active)
subject
This house was built in
1930. (passive)
We
use an active verb to say what the subject does :


We
use a passive verb to say what happens to the subject :


When
we use the passive voice, who or what causes the action is often unknown or
unimportant:

If
we want to say who does or what causes the action, we use by :


The
passive is be (is/was/have been, etc) + the past participle (done/cleaned/seen,
etc) :
The
active and passive forms of the simple present and simple past :
Simple present
Active : clean(s)/
see(s), etc. => sombody cleans this room everyday
Passive : am/is/are
+ cleaned/seen,etc => is cleaned everyday.



Simple past
Active : cleaned/saw,
etc =>
somebody cleaned this room yesterday.
Passive : was/were
+ cleaned/seen, etc. => this room was cleaned yesterday.



After,
will/can/must/going to/want to, etc.
Active : do/clean/see,
etc. =>
somebody will clean the room later.
Passive : be
done/cleaned/seen, etc. => the room will be cleaned later.





After,
should have/might have/would have/see to have, etc.
Passive : done/cleaned/seen,
etc. =>
somebody should have cleaned the room.
Active : been
done/cleaned/seen, etc. => the room should have been cleaned.



present perfect
active : has/have
done =>
the room looks nice. Somebody has cleaned it.
Passive : has/have
been done. => the room looks nice. It has been cleaned.


Past perfect
Active : had
done. =>
the room looked nice. Somebody cleaned it.
Passive : had
been done. => the room looked nice. It had been cleaned.





Present continous
Active : am/is/are doing. => somebody is singing the
Korean song.
Passive : am/is/are
being done. => The Korean song is being sung.

C. CONCLUTION
Passive
voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not know
, however, who pr what is performing the action.
A
verb in the passiv voice expresses an action done to its subject. The passive
voice emphasizes the person or thing recieving the action. Or it may be used
when the speaker does not know or does not wish to say who performed the
action.
The
passive voice is used more frequently in writing than in conversation. However,
it should be used sprangly and only when its use accomplishes a spesific
purpose.
The
passive form is composed of some form of the verb be + the apropriate
auxiliary, if any + the past participle form of the verb.
Passive
voice sentences are transformations of the basic sentence pattens.
