Passive Voice Quiz: 4/18
You will have a quiz on the use of the passive-voice this week. Once again, review using the apps on your phone, or you can try these tests. Here is a longer explanation, and here is the shorter. Read the shorter first. Active is the regular way, and passive is less common and sounds weaker, but you use it to avoid saying who/what is doing the action.
