Functions of the passive voice The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action. In other words, the most important thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence.

This is the story of three plastic bottles, empty and discarded. Their journeys are about to diverge with outcomes that impact nothing less than the fate of the planet. But they weren't always this way. To understand where these bottles end up, we must first explore their origins.

The heroes of our story were conceived in this oil refinery. The plastic in their bodies was formed by chemically bonding oil and gas molecules together to make monomers. In turn, these monomers were bonded into long polymer chains to make plastic in the form of millions of pellets. Those were melted at manufacturing plants and reformed in molds to create the resilient material that makes up the triplets' bodies.

Machines filled the bottles with sweet bubbily liquid and they were then wrapped, shipped, bought, opened, consumed and unceremoniously discarded. And now here they lie, poised at the edge of the unknown.

Bottle one, like hundreds of millions of tons of his plastic brethren, ends up in a landfill. This huge dump expands each day as more trash comes in and continues to take up space. As plastics sit there being compressed amongst layers of other junk, rainwater flows through the waste and absorbs the water-soluble compounds it contains, and some of those are highly toxic. Together, they create a harmful stew called leachate, which can move into groundwater, soil and streams, poisoning ecosystems and harming wildlife.

It can take bottle one an agonizing 1,000 years to decompose.

Bottle two's journey is stranger but, unfortunately, no happier. He floats on a trickle that reaches a stream, a stream that flows into a river, and a river that reaches the ocean. After months lost at sea, he's slowly drawn into a massive vortex, where trash accumulates, a place known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Here the ocean's currents have trapped millions of pieces of plastic debris. This is one of five plastic-filled gyres in the world's seas. Places where the pollutants turn the water into a cloudy plastic soup.

Some animals, like seabirds, get entangled in the mess. They, and others, mistake the brightly colored plastic bits for food. Plastic makes them feel full when they're not, so they starve to death and pass the toxins from the plastic up the food chain. For example, it's eaten by lanternfish, the lanternfish are eaten by squid, the squid are eaten by tuna, and the tuna are eaten by us. And most plastics don't biodegrade, which means they're destined to break down into smaller and smaller pieces called micro plastics, which might rotate in the sea eternally.

But bottle three is spared the cruel purgatories of his brothers. A truck brings him to a plant where he and his companions are squeezed flat and compressed into a block. Okay, this sounds pretty bad, too, but hang in there. It gets better. The blocks are shredded into tiny pieces, which are washed and melted, so they become the raw materials that can be used again. As if by magic, bottle three is now ready to be reborn as something completely new. For this bit of plastic with such humble origins, suddenly the sky is the limit.

When Angel, a greyhound mix was rescued from an animal organization in Ireland, she would not turn around and face her new home. PAWs Animal Rescue believes she was traumatized and abused. When Angel arrived at their organization, they say that she just faced the wall in their office and refused to move for days. They would leave her food but Angel would only eat when no one was watching. After bringing in another dog from the same pound, they immediately saw a change in Angel's personality.

passive voice

One of the two "voices" of verbs. A verb is in the passive voice when the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb. For example, in "The ball was thrown by the pitcher," the ball (the subject) receives the action of the verb, and was thrown is in the passive voice. The same sentence cast in the active voice would be, "The pitcher threw the ball."

active voice

One of the two "voices" of verbs. When the verb of a sentence is in the active voice, the subject is doing the acting, as in the sentence "Kevin hit the ball." Kevin (the subject of the sentence) acts in relation to the ball.

: Use this program and exercises to practice the passive tense. These are vocabulary activities and students can practice spelling the past participle of 12 different verbs, some regular past participles and irregular past participles as well. These are some listening exercises and 3 different grammar practice games to solidify the target language.

This game focuses on passive tense sentences with four main sections. There are vocabulary practice games and past participle spelling exercises. Then, there are some games for conversation practice and games for listening practice. The question and answer activities are associated with the Kids ESL curriculum from MES English - Unit 15.

The questions and answers for this game are as follows.

A: What happened to him?

B: He was scratched.

A: What happened?

A: Was he run over?

Other notes:

The English passive tense is used when the active agent is unknown or not important. For that reason 'by ...' is generally not used. If the agent is important to the meaning, English prefers the active sentence structure. However, since this is passive tense practice, there is some use of 'by ...' and solidification of its use in the grammar practice sections.

With the question, 'What happened to ...?' there is emphasis on being able to use 'to ...' For the listening and vocabulary games, it's present, but shouldn't affect the students ability to understand and complete the exercises.

These exercises only use the 3rd person past tense, 'He was hit.'/'Was he hit?'/'He wasn't hit.'

The audio wil read the full sentence, but the spelling section will only accept the past participle or 'be + past participle'

Passive voice - In English, sentences can be written in the active voice or the passive voice. When a sentence is in the active voice, the subject is performing the action. However, in the passive voice the subject is being acted by the verb and the subject comes after the action. Read More

The following examples help illustrate the difference:

Active Voice: Tom wrote the book.

Passive Voice: The book was written by Tom.

In the above examples, the passive voice takes control away from the subject (Tom) and gives it to the object (the book). While it is generally advisable to write in the active voice in English, the passive voice has multiple functions in the English language.

It can be useful when we to place focus on the object, not the subject.

When we do not know who performed the action, or do not want to say who, we use the passive voice. For example - A new teacher was assigned.

The passive voice can make sentences sound more formal and less personal. For example - A decision has been taken to expel you.
