Dialogue in English conversation. Dialogues in English - samples and colloquialisms

In the “Exercises” section, we offer you short situation tasks to reinforce grammatical structures in speaking. Today we'll figure it out Passive Voice.
To use Passive Voice correctly, students need enough practice in a safe environment (gap filling, choosing the correct variant, correct the mistakes) and in speaking. Students do not often use Passive Voice in their speech, but it is necessary for formal situations, letters, and exams.

Famous people: Past Simple Passive

The goal is to make sentences using the Past Simple passive voice and guess what famous invention or discovery we are talking about.
Prepare the names of the most famous inventions, discoveries, masterpieces in various industries. Ask the student to continue this list.
For example, Don Quixote, psychoanalysis, Mona Lisa, television, Swan Lake, gravity. the telephone, Star Wars, evolution.
Student assignment – Make the sentences for the following words but don’t say the word itself. Let the teacher (other students) guess what thing you are talking about.

Teacher (student B): Radioactivity!
Then the students (or student and teacher) switch roles.

Burglary: Present Perfect Passive

The goal is to describe the result of an action using the passive voice.
Student assignment:
You are a police officer who should make a report
of what he sees: “All the drawers have been opened.”

If a student has a small vocabulary, then it is better to give reference words.
Verbs to use:
to smash to break to turn upside down to stain
You can add item names to the list.
A variation of this task is a description of the city.
Student assignment - Imagine that you returned to your city after many years and local government made some changes to the city.

If the student is weak, you can give supporting sentences:

• You will be met
• You will be taken
• Your meals will be prepared

Give yourself time to prepare and set a time limit. It is advisable that the student present the tour to you for at least 1-2 minutes. The teacher can play along with a difficult client.

Said around the world: Present and Past Simple Passive

Levels – pre-intermediate – upper-intermediate

The goal is to use proverbs to demonstrate the use of the passive voice in different contexts and organize additional conversational practice.

Hello friends! For many, the topic of active and passive voice in English is complex and incomprehensible. Some people encounter problems in forming the passive form, others do not know how to translate such sentences. If you know how to form PassiveVoice, learn to recognize and understand such sentences, these skills will make your speech more varied and richer, and your language competencies will become one step closer to proficiency at the level of a native English speaker.

What is passive voice?

In English, voice indicates whether the subject action is performed on its own by the active/active voice, or whether the action is performed on it by the passive/passive voice.

So there are two collaterals:

1. Active Voice - Active
2. Passive Voice - Passive

Passive voice in English table

Active voice in English table

• Active Voice: They usually visit their granny.— They usually visit their granny.
• Passive Voice: Their granny is usually visited.— Their grandmother is often visited.
• Active Voice: They are visiting their granny now.— Now they are visiting their grandmother.
• Passive Voice: Their granny is being visited now.— Their grandmother is being visited now.
• Active Voice: They have just visited their granny— They just visited their granny.
• Passive Voice: Their granny has just been visited. — Their granny just visited.

Remember, 3 uses of the passive voice in English

1. When we don't know who performed the action. For example: The bank was robbed (we don’t know who did it).
2. When it is not important to us who performed the action, but the action itself is important. For example: This house will be built next year (it doesn’t matter to us who does it, it’s important to us that it will be built).
3. When we don't want to say who exactly did it (if something bad happened and we don't want to blame anyone). For example: The holiday is ruined (we don’t want to say who ruined it).
