OBJECTIVE.TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING AND FORM OF THEGRAMMAR STRUCTURE.

LESSON: Passive statements (present perfect).

 we use the passive voice when we don’t say who does the action. in this case, the object of an active sentence becomes the subject of a passive sentence.

The passive voice can be used both in the present and past tense.

You can also use the passive voice in the present perfect tense.

 

For example:

Active	Passive
I’ve sent my message. I’ is the subject, and message is the object.	My message has been sent. Here, message becomes the object.
