the passive Aim: To use and review the active and passive voice in various verb tenses. Topic: Newspaper articles Lesson timings: Exercises 1–3: 25 minutes; Exercises 4–6: 10 minutes each; Exercise 7: 20 minutes; Total: 75 minutes. Exercises 1–3 These are designed to rapidly review the meaning and formation of the passive. Allow the students to explore the language in the article as they do the activities. Exercise 1 These are comprehension questions to be sure students understand the article. Check any unknown vocabulary. Key a A traveling salesman b The morgue c A place bodies are taken for identification and investigation d3 e No, we don’t know who said it. It sounds like gossip. In English, the passive voice is commonly used in newspaper articles and scientific papers. We use it when we don’t know who did the action. We form the passive with a form of the verb be + a past participle. Columbus discovered America in 1492. (active) America was discovered in 1492 (by Columbus). (passive) Exercise 2 Ask the students which of the verbs is active and which passive. Call attention to the formation of each type of verb. Ask students the verb tense of each verb. Key was found – past passive reported – past active called – past active was taken – past passive hasn’t been identified – present perfect passive has been found – present perfect passive are – present active has been using – present perfect progressive passive has been reported – present perfect passive Key Active Passive reported, called, think was found, was taken, will be examined, hasn't been identified, has been found, has been used, have been reported © 2008 www.teachitworld.com 9404 Page 6 of 7

the passive Exercise 3 This practice is designed to reinforce the ideas presented in exercises 1 and 2. Key 1 was painted 2 was ... painted 3 did ... die 4 was found 5 was said 6 was told You use the passive when it isn’t important who did an action. What is important is the action itself. They said she killed herself. Who is ‘they’? We don’t know who said it, so we can use the passive: It was said she killed herself. If someone specific did the action, we use the active or put the person who did the action after by…… This indicates who did the action, but emphasizes that the action is in reality more important than who did it. Her father told her that it was an accident. She was told by her father that it was an accident. Exercise 4 This exercise practices when to use the passive voice. While correcting, emphasize that the passive is usually used when we don’t know or don’t care about who said something. Ask the students who said what is reported in the article. The grammar explanation on the previous page also presents the use of the ‘by ___’ phrase that is used when the person who does an action is less important than the action itself. Key 1 Midvale Park has been opened. 2 Midvale Park was established in 1999… 3 …when a unique ecosystem was found around Midvale Lake. 4 The area was isolated from the public…. 5 …and local plants and animals were encouraged to reproduce. 6 The local animal population is still being supported today and… 7 … it will be increased yearly. 8 About two new species can be re-introduced a month. 9 It is reported that the ecosystem is strong enough…. 10 ….and new related exhibits are being opened at the museum next week. Exercise 5 This activity allows students to try out being newspaper reporters while working in pairs. Student A is a newspaper reporter and Student B witnessed a bank robbery. In the first part Student A interviews Student B. Student A uses notes from a previous interview to design the questions. Student B has notes about the crime that was witnessed. In the second part, A and B work together to write the newspaper article. They can use the articles in earlier exercises as models. Encourage the use of the passive voice. © 2008 www.teachitworld.com 9404 Page 7 of 7
