Teacher starts explain the rule of passive This type of sentence or verbs we call it Passive. A- in passive form we use auxiliary verb verb be+past participle(third verb) The frames were drawn perfectly. We use passive when : 1- The subject(doer) is not important. 2- The (doer) is very obvious. 3-The main thing we are talking about is the object of the verb. 4 - We don't know who exactly does or what cause something. B- Verb be can come in past tens ,in present ,and in the future ( will be + past participle) C-We use by t introduce the person who make the action ,and by for tool,instrument or technique. Ss will solve some sheets to start practice Passive. Controlled practice: A- Are the underlined verbs are Passive or Active ? Write P next to the sentence if the underlined verbs are passive ,write A if they are active .. 2 min, in pairs 1- They dont have any special effects. 2- It took five years to make this extremely ambitious film. 3-Here, a pin is being used to move the puppet's eyes. 4- Thousands of frames were drawn by hands. 5-The film cost six times more to make than Disney had planned. 6-Snow white is still loved today by children. 7- Aardman animations' films will be enjoyed in the same way for many years to come.

(in pairs) Are you going to say the answers orally or going to write them?(write them) Are you going to write full answer?(only a letter) How much time do you have?(2 min) Answers: A A P P A p p
