Grammar: Past Simple Passive

1: Work it Out

Do you know when to use the passive and when to use the active? Do you know how the passive is formed in the past tense? Look at these sentences. Can you work out the rules?

JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter.
'Harry Potter' was written in English.
Picasso painted in many different styles.
'Guernica' was painted by Picasso in 1937
The man who stole the car has been arrested.
My camera was stolen while I was on holiday.
They built their own house with the help of some friends.
The house was built during the 19th Century.

Now try the quiz below to check your ideas.

2: Check Active or Passive

Answer the following questions below to check your understanding of active and passive:

1) I decorated the living room last year.
2) Ben wrote to the council about the noisy neighbours.
3) The furniture was bought at a local market.
4) The Internet was invented during the 1950's
5) The police were called just after midnight.
6) I took the exam last year.

Well done. The past simple passive is formed by using 'was' or 'were' plus the past participle. The passive is used when the person or thing that did the action is unknown, unimportant or not the focus of our interest. We use 'by' with the passive if we want to identify who or what did the action. Try again. Tip: The past simple passive is formed by using 'was' or 'were' plus the past participle. The passive is used when the person or thing that did the action is unknown, unimportant or not the focus of our interest. We use 'by' with the passive if we want to identify who or what did the action. Your answer has been saved.

Exercise 1

Choose much, many, a lot of, a little, a few, etc. to complete the sentences

Summary chart

much/many

many for countable, much for uncountable in (?) (-)

We use much/ many in negative sentences and questions. We use many before plural countable nouns and much before uncountable nouns. We don't normally use them in affirmative sentences.

how much/how many

We use how many + plural nouns and how much + uncountable nouns to ask about quantity. You can review countable and uncountable nouns here.

We can also say How much is it? to ask about the price of an item.

a lot (of)

Before both countable and uncountable

We use a lot of before both plural countable and uncountable nouns to talk about big quantity. We normally use them in positive sentences.

We can say quite a lot of to talk about medium quantity.

It is also possible to use a lot of in negative sentences and questions.

of before noun; at the end of sentence

We must always use a lot of including of at the end. However, we can use a lot (without of) at the end of a sentence or in short answers.

a few/a little

a few for countable; a little for uncountable

We use a few before plural countable nouns and a little before uncountable nouns in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences to talk about small quantity.

not many, not much

We can also use not many + plural countable or not much + uncountable nouns. The meaning is similar.

no/not...any/none

When we want to talk about zero quantity, we can use no + noun or not...any + noun. The meaning is the same.

In short answers we use none.

Learning English can feel tough at times: oh for the confusing grammatical rules, the baffling regional accents and the head-spinning cultural rules. One of the ways in which you can pick English up (and pick it up pretty fast) is through film, TV and music. Here, we're looking at the eight best films for learning English.

The King's Speech makes for an easy first place position on our list as the story revolves around the King George VI struggles with a stammer (speaking with involuntary pauses or repetitions). Pronunciation is focused upon throughout the entire movie. What better film for learning English than a film in which someone is learning to communicate in English?

Harry Potter presents a fascinating insight into the world of magic. Through these films you'll learn everything from the most basic of vocabulary (which is unsurprising, given the franchise is aimed at children upwards of 8), as well as words which were created in the mind of J.K. Rowling (probably the best example of meaning created through word phonetics alone). Here are some of the best:

Aguamenti - A spell to create water.

Muggle - Person totally without magical powers.

Fudge Flies - Wizarding sweets.

Inferius - A dead body that has been bewitched to do a Dark wizard's bidding.

You probably won't use any of these words in every day language, but they're just so fun to say.

The most effective way of learning English and proper pronunciation is by watching a film literally defined by the 'Queen's English'. This film also shows you the inner workings of the Royal family - making this a must-see for those who truly want to learn about English culture.

Lord of the Rings is a film adaption of one of the greatest literary works of all time. Written by J.R.R. Tolkien and brought to life for the modern age, this magical story makes for a fascinating study of how differing mythical beings vary their dialects and vocabulary.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a universally amusing film- for the young and old its fun themes, outlandish costumes and set designs could keep you engaged from beginning to end - even if you have just started learning English and struggle to keep up with the dialogue.

Beauty and Beast is one of the most on-point films for pronunciation there is; it's also a musical - for songs that stay stuck in your head until you've learned every last word.

The sound of music has the best of both the music and film worlds and, as it's family entertainment, there's a good mix of basic vocabulary, as well as words and phrases that are more advanced.

This classic film hails from 1993 and tells the story of a relationship between housekeeper and butler; set in the late 1930's this film delivers formal speech throughout and whilst some of the vocabulary may no longer be in common usage, the way in which people used to speak was far more grammatically correct than when compared to today.

You can set this page as a homework task for a group of students; doing so will give you a record of who has completed the task. Visit the teacher's section for more information.

You can share this page by using the link below.

This is a game to practice or study English as a second language, specifically the focus is on forming conditional phrases of the form "if ..., then ...". Conditional phrases of this type are useful structures to learn, as they have a range of uses in both everyday life and practical settings.

The general idea behind this game is that by practising the "if ..., then ..." structure, students will become more familiar with it and integrate it into their range of language. Hopefully, students will go from being less familiar with conditional phrases, to being able to express conditional ideas in an effective way. In order to achieve this, the game uses a generally behaviourist approach of repeating the formation of the structure. The different images convey the meaning of a conditional situation, and then the learner practices forming the matching conditional structure. The specific phrases used in this game are perhaps unlikely to be used that much in everyday life; however, it is hoped that enough repetition will lead to transfer of the structure to other contexts.

There are 48 phrases in the game, with each having an image showing the meaning of the conditional situation. As it was necessary to have matching images, only conditionals that are easy to represent visually were used. About half of the 48 items are of type 0 or 1 (also known as first conditional or zero conditional). Most of the rest are of type 2 (unreal conditional), then a few are mixed 2/3 and one is type 3. Originally I didn't want to organize the items according to type, but it was necessary to do so, in order to avoid confusion and instances where an image could be multiple types. For example, the "if you drink a lot of water, then you will need the WC" item could easily be either first or second conditional. So, to avoid this confusion, the conditionals are grouped and shown by type. Also, unreal conditionals clearly show a thought bubble coming from a person's head to represent the fact that it corresponds to an idea rather than a real life situation. Likewise, for the mixed conditionals, an attempt was made to show some kind of regret for the person, thus corresponding to that kind of past conditional.

To play the game, you just have to click on the words to make the correct sentence. First, you look at the image and figure out the conditional situation. Then, you can look at the clause that is currently showing. And then, you can tap the words to make the rest of the conditional phrase. Sometimes the first part of the conditional is show and you have to form the second half; other times you are shown the second clause of the conditional and you have to form the first part. There are also a few items where you have to form both clauses. Points are awarded for clicking the correct words; while score is lost if mistakes are made. More points are awarded if the words are clicking in the correct order.

There are 8 rounds in total. For rounds 1 and 2, you have to make the "then" clause of the conditional; while for round 3 you have to make the "if" clause and for round 4 you have to make both clauses. Rounds 5 to 8 are similar, but involve unreal conditional structures. If you prefer, you can choose the "long" option on the first screen and play without round breaks. This long type of game allows for a higher score.

GRAMMAR: Past perfect - explanation and exercise 

# data[].attributes.subject
GRAMMAR: Past perfect - explanation and exercise 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When we talk about something that happened in the past we sometimes want to refer back to something that happened before that time. We can use the past perfect tense ( had + past participle) to do this.

Look at these two sentences.

John left the house at 7:30 yesterday morning.

Mary rang John's doorbell at 8:15 yesterday.

Both actions happened in the past so we use the past simple tense. But look at how we can combine the sentences.

Mary rang John's doorbell at 8:15 yesterday but John had already left the house.

We use the past perfect ( had left) because the action happened before another action in the past ( Mary rang the doorbell.)

Look at some more examples of the past perfect.

When Mrs Brown opened the washing machine she realised she had washed the cat.

I got a letter from Jim last week. We'd been at school together but we'd lost touch with each other.

The past perfect is used because they were at school before he received the letter. It refers to an earlier past.

Look at these 2 sentences.

James had cooked breakfast when we got up.

James cooked breakfast when we got up.

In the first sentence, the past perfect tells us that James cooked breakfast before we got up. In the second sentence, first we got up and then James cooked breakfast.

Past perfect continuous

The past perfect can also be used in the continuous.

I realised I had been working too hard so I decided to have a holiday.

By the time Jane arrived we had been waiting for 3 hours.

NOTE
The most common mistake with the past perfect is to overuse it or to use it simply because we are talking about a time in the distant past.

For example we would not say

The Romans had spoken Latin

but rather

The Romans spoke Latin

because it simply describes a past event, and not an event before and relevant to another past event.

Remember that we only use the past perfect when we want to refer to a past that is earlier than another time in the narrative.

Lisa's Fluffy

Lisa lives with her dog, Fluffy.

Fluffy never eats anything that costs less than 50 dollars. He has a really expansive taste.

One day Fluffy gets lost. Lisa looks for him everywhere, but she can't find him.

"Fluffy, my friend, you are on your own," she says.

Poor Fluffy walks and walks. He is not sure where to turn, and it is already time for his 4 o'clock snack.

"What should I do?" Fluffy thinks.

Now it is 8 o'clock, and Fluffy is really hungry. He wants to eat, and he wants his 8 o'clock bath.

"Oh, no..." Fluffy thinks.

Now it is 10 o'clock, and Fluffy is extremely hungry. He wants his snack, his dinner, his bath and his soft bed.

Suddenly he spots a big gray dog, with a big gray nose.

The big gray dog chews something.

Fluffy tries not to stare, but he is really hungry by now.

"What do you want?" The big gray dog asks.

"Hmm, well... Maybe you could give me some food and snacks, and a bath too?"

The dog smiles, "A bath?"

"Yes, a bath. I am tired, and hungry, and dirty," Fluffy answers.

"Well, of course I can. Come into my spa."

The big dog laughs and walks away.

"Wait!" Fluffy barks, "please don't go. I am all alone and I need my snack!"

Fluffy seems very sad. The big gray dog looks at him and turns back.
"What is your name?" he asks.

"I am Fluffy. And you?"

"I am Bam. Come, I can't offer you a bath, but a shower is a different story."

Fluffy and Bam walk to a leaking hose, and have a shower.

Bam gives Fluffy some food. At first Fluffy wants to refuse, but he is too hungry.

"So where is your home?" Bam asks.

"I live with Lisa. She takes good care of me. I get snacks, food, a bath..."

"Nice girl." Bam says.

"Yes, she is. I hope to find her. And I hope she doesn't give away my dear dear snacks..."

The two dogs go to sleep under the open sky. Fluffy falls asleep and dreams of snacks having baths.

Golf

Fluffy wakes up. He hopes he is in a bad dream, but now he sees this is real. Bam sits beside him.

"Is it time for your 9 o'clock bath?" he smiles.

"I don't have a 9 o'clock bath. I have a 9 o'clock golf match!" Fluffy answers angrily.

"Golf? Are you playing Gulf?!"

"Yes, and I do it very well, if I may say."

"You may. But I need to see it to believe it. A dog playing golf..."

Fluffy jumps on his legs and starts running.

"Hey! Where to, little doggie?" Bam barks and starts running, too.

"I will show you! Where is your golf field?"

"Well, I have no golf field!"

"It's okay! I will find one!"

The 2 dogs run and run until they reach the park. Fluffy is very happy. He finds a stick and a can and brings them to Bam.

"This is not perfect, but it is something!" he says. He digs some holes in the ground. "Now, watch!" he barks.

Fluffy grabs the stick and just stands there, looking very very serious. Bam watches him.

Then, after 5 minutes, Fluffy hits the can with his stick. The can rolls and enters a far away hole. Fluffy is satisfied. He stands long and tall, and waits for the applause.

Bam is surprised, "You are actually good!"

"Of course I am. What about you? What is your favorite sports?"

"Well, sitting by the hose."

"I am not sure it is a sport."

"It's not actually. I am hose cucumber."

"A hose cucumber?!" Fluffy doesn't understand.

"Yes. Some people are couch potatoes. It means they sit on the couch and watch TV."

"I am hose cucumber. I sit by the hose." Bam explains.

"So why aren't you a hose potato?"

"People are potatoes. Dogs are cucumbers."

"This really makes a lot of sense, you know." Fluffy says wisely.

"Yes, it does. Let's go. I am sure it is time for your 11 o'clock beauty treatment." Bam starts to walk away.

"Yes it is! How did you know?" Fluffy jumps happily after him.

And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
