You’re involved in helping to organise your school variety show.You are at a meeting to discuss who will do what job at the variety show. Use

passive voice

(BE + past participle) to write full sentences using future form with will, to show who is scheduled to do what:

1. a)

PHOTOS >

TAKE

> JOE(STEVEN)

The photos will be taken by Joe.

But when the day of the variety show finally arrived, absolutely nothing went to plan! The person in brackets actually did the job in question, so write a sentence using

active voice

with past simple form to show what actually happened:

1. b) Steven took the photos.

Then write a sentence using

passive voice

with past simple form that you can put in your after-show report:

1. c) The photos were taken by Steven.In summary, you have to write three sentences for each question:i) passive voice with future form (will)ii) active voice with past simple formiii) passive voice with past simple form

Note: each group of three sentences could also be drilled orally.
