Lesson Sequence

Open in PowerPoint and start the slide show. Click to reveal each answer after students respond.
Read the speaker notes (View > Notes) for questions to ask and common mistakes.
Use with the lesson plan: it lists which slides belong to each lesson.

Teacher Tips

Real labels ("Made in Vietnam") are a great hook for the present simple passive. News headlines are full of passives — use the day's news in lesson 4.

Learning Objectives

Explain when and why we use the passive voice.
Form the passive with be + past participle in the present simple, past simple, present perfect and future, and with modal verbs.
Use the past participles of common regular and irregular verbs correctly.
Change active sentences into the passive and decide when to include "by + agent".
Use the passive to describe a process and to write a short news report.

Differentiation

Support: Give a list of past participles on the desk. Challenge: Passive with continuous tenses: "The road is being repaired." English language learners: Color-code: be (blue) + past participle (orange).
