the passiv
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
To form the passive, we put the object in the position of the subject .
We use the passive when we want to focus on what happens more than on person who makes it happen . Sometimes the person is left out of the passive sentence . It is usually used for news reports , sign and scientific descriptions.
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
ex:
* The boy wrote the story . ( the boy is more important.)
* The story was writini by the story . (the story is more important. )
* He stuck the straw on the balloon. ( the person is important . )
* The straw was stuck on the balloon . ( the person is not important )
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
We form the passive with the verb be ( is / was , are / were ) and the past participle of the verb .
Object + be + past participle of verb :
The light bulb + was + invented .
