Passive Quizes

You have four!  They add up to 49; however, I will give you a mark out of 50: there is a one-mark bonus, 2%.

Like last time, do them all, and tell me all four marks.  Do not post the results or email them: write them and your name on a piece of scrap paper and give me the paper.

The first three are simple multiple choice:
PASSIVE VOICE 2 (out of 10)
PASSIVE VOICE 3 (out of 10)
Passive Quiz (out of 15)

The last one is more difficult, even though it is multiple choice: the examples are correct, but you must choose why they are written in passive voice.

CONDITIONAL TENSES: 'If'
You can begin practicing for the conditional on your apps and here when you have finished the passive quizzes:

Conditionals
A conditional sentence is a sentence containing the word if. There are three basic types of conditional sentence:
  1. if clause > present simple tense : main clause > future tense (will)
    • If you help me, I will help you.
    • If I win the lottery, I will buy a new car.
    • If it snows tomorrow, we will go skiing.
  2. if clause > past simple tense : main clause > would
    • If you knew her, you would agree with me.
    • If I won the lottery, I would buy a new car.
    • If it snowed tomorrow, we would go skiing.
  3. if clause > past perfect tense : main clause > would have
    • If you had helped me, I would have helped you.
    • If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a new car.
    • If it had snowed yesterday, we would have gone skiing.
Of course, it is possible to start conditional sentences with the main clause:
  • I will buy a new car if I win the lottery.
  • I would buy a new car if I won the lottery.
  • I would have bought a new car if I had won the lottery.
