The Passive
Remember:
3.1.
The passive is used if it is important what has been done, not who has done it.
It is formed by a form of "to be" and the past participle of the main verb.
The subject of the active sentence becomes the by-agent of the passive sentence.
The object of the passive sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
Often the by-agent is omitted.
Turn the following active sentences into the passive. Use a by-agent.
3.1.1. Father washes the car. ____________________________________________________________
3.1.2. Samira did the homework. _________________________________________________________
