Lesson 8

DENTISTRY
TODAY’S LESSON

• Passive Voice
• Skills
• Reading and Listening
REMEMBER
• We can use the passive when the person/thing that did an action is not
relevant or not know: What is paper made from? It’s made from wood.
• We can mention the agent (the person/thing that did the action) in a
passive sentence with by + noun: Hamlet was written by Shakespeare.
• Usually we do not need to mention the agent in a passive sentence. We
do not mention it if it is not important for the meaning of the sentence:
The house was built by some builders in 1888.

HAVE SOMETHING DONE
We can also form passive-type
sentences like this:

The subject is the person who decided,
not who did the action.
We can also use get + object + past
participle, in informal situations;
Where do you get your car serviced?
