  2. A sad story… • Last week I found a great apartment. The rent was reasonable. That’s why…  Page 2

  3. I decided to throw a party the other night.  Page 3

  4. The next day I was thrown out of it!  Page 4

  5. Active or passive • I threw a party the other night. (active) meaning: I did something. • I was thrown out of it. (passive) meaning: Something was done to me.  Page 5

  6. Use • The passive is more common in written than spoken English. It sounds formal and impersonal, and for that reason is often used in: • reports of crimes or legal procedures – He was sentenced to two years in prison. • newspaper reports – The match was postponed due to a heavy fog. • scientific writing – Three millilitres of water are added to the mixture. • announcements – Flight BA 302 to London is delayed by two hours. • notices – Customers are requested not to smoke.  Page 6

  7. Use • In everyday situations we use it when we do not know or care who performs the action. In other words, the passive is used when we are more interested in what happens to a thing or a person. • Nevertheless, it is not unusual to mention the ‘actual doer’ in a passive sentence. In that case we put them at the end of the sentence after the preposition by: • “Great expectations” was written by Charles Dickens. • “Star wars” was directed byGeorge Lucas.  Page 7
