PASSIVE VOICE

PASSIVE VOICE

Passive Voice

In passive voice we're gonna play with all the different ways we have to express the verb TO BE plus the main verb in THIRD FORM because we want it to have the ending ADO, IDO, TO, SO, CHO

When we're gonna use passive voice we're gonna focus our attention on the action and the object unlike active voice where we focus our attention generally on who does that action, pay attention to the next examples:
