Unit 11 - Family and Friends 5

Unit 11 - Family and Friends 5

In this unit you will cover passive voices and also how to use the prepositions by and with.
 
English has two voices: active and passive. 
The active voice is used when the action is done by the subject: The dog ate my homework. 

The passive voice (BE + V+-ed/-en/-t) is used when the action of the sentence is not being done by the subject: My homework was eaten by the dog.  

The passive is formed with any time frame of the verb TO BE + the PAST PARTICIPLE.  
The passive voice is often used:

• to describe artistic, scientific and literary endeavors:

The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Research is now being done on a cure for this disease.

• to explain directions and procedures:

The game of Monopoly can be played by two to four players.

• to describe legal and governmental matters and to avoid placing direct blame:

Reports on several new gun laws were being discussed.
When active sentences have verbs with direct objects (are transitive), they can become passive:

She is reserving a table.	A table is being reserved.
A thief stole my stereo.	My stereo has been stolen by a thief.

By and With:

Both prepositions can be used to show how something is done.

‘By’ can be followed by a gerund (-ing form):

 

He improved his English by reading novels.

You can change the look of that room by redecorating it.

 

‘By’ is followed by a noun in combinations refering to the means of transportation or communication:

 

by plane/car/bus/subway

by fax/mail/phone/sea

 

‘With’ is used when tools or parts of the body mentioned:

 

I opened the wine with a bottle opener.

He pushed the door with his foot.

 

Note: ‘by hand’ means ‘handmade’, ‘made by a person, not by a machine’:

 

She made the pie dough by hand.

Compared to: The mother touched the girl’s forehead with her hand.
