Overview
Help your B1 students understand and use the passive voice in the present and past. Students learn how to form passive sentences, understand why we use them, practise common patterns and use the passive to talk about products, places, rules, services and real-life events.
Why Teachers Like It
The passive voice can be difficult for B1 students because they need to change both the verb form and the focus of the sentence. This lesson gives students a clear explanation followed by practical exercises, real-world examples, error correction and speaking activities.
