(the first one has been done as an example):

crocodile

crocodile

The world cup has never been won by Scotland

consumed

Task 8 – How would you explain the passive voice to a low level student
using language they would understand? Give as much detail as possible
of the study phase of this lesson.

We would explain to the student that the passive voice is said usually
from outside of the subjects perspective. We would also explain the
form very clearly and demonstrate the different verb tenses used. In the
study phase we would produce a work sheet with activities similar to
task 5 and 6 of this worksheet but also a short story or news article
which they use to mark or highlight the passive voice sentences included
with the article.

PHRASAL VERBS

Task 9 – State the three types of phrasal verbs, explaining how they are
different from each other. Give two example sentences of your own for
 each one.

Can you ask round? = Can you ask people?

b. Transitive seperable
He filled out the form = He answered the form questions

c.Transitive inseperable
She made up with him = She forgave him

RELATIVE CLAUSES

Task 10 – State the difference between defining and non-defining

relative clauses and give an example of each:

Defining relative clauses link the first and second sections of the
sentence together, where as non-defining relative clauses provide
additional detail to the sentence.

a. Defining relative clause:

I've been using my computer which is very slow

b. Non-defining relative clause:

My computer, which is very slow, has been used to answer these
questions
