Description

In this lesson, students will review and practice the passive voice in the past tenses. They will read headlines that include the three past tense passive forms - the past simple passive, the past continuous passive, and the past perfect passive. After reading the text, they will identify the passive voice language used. Then, they will analyze the meaning, form, and pronunciation each tense. Next, the students will use their knowledge in a controlled practice activity. Last, the students will use their combined grammar and speaking in a freer practice activity.
