After they have underlined T will reveal the sentences where there are examples of passive voice.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Form: T will present a slide with the form structure of the TL. T will explain the main pattern There will be examples where the Ss will read off the examples and identify the form according to the example Meaning: T will use the following examples Passive the object receives the action A Generation was born after World War II Q What is the focus? A Generation Q What is the action? A Being born QWho is doing it?
