The T asks the ss to examine two sample sentences in present and past passive taken from the quiz and answer concept checking questions about it on PPT to elicit their previous knowledge on passives. Then the teacher elicits the form of passive voice.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning and form of the target language

At this stage, the teacher shows sentences in present progressive, past progressive, present perfect and past perfect passive sentences taken from the quiz and asks CCQ to elicit the meaning of the senetences.Then T asks the ss to tell the formula for each sentence on the board and the T shows the formulas under the sentences. Thus, the T elicits the structure. Then the ss are asked to state the formula for negative sentences,

Controlled Practice (2-4 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Ss are given a handout in which they complete the sentences with the correct passive form of the verbs in brackets on their own. Then the answers are checked as a whole class.

Semi-Controlled Practice (5-8 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

In this activity, students are given a handout in which they see active and passive sentences. They work in pairs and each partner tries to rephrase the active sentences in passive voice and his/her partner checks those statements on the card provided.Then, the other pair does the same.

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language
