본문내용

* Passive structures
The subject of a passive v. corresponds to the object of an active v.
Active : They built this house in 1486
Passive : This house was built in 1486
The transformation from active to passive works like this :
We can use [ by + agent ] if we need to say who does the action

*Reasons for using passives
Passives are common when we are thinking about what is done to the
person or thing that we are interested in, not about what he/she/it does
Passives can help us to go on talking about the same thing, in cases
where an active verb would need an unwanted new subject
He lives in a small house
☞ Somebody built it about forty years ago
☞ it was built about forty years ago
He got a sports car, but he didn’t like it
☞ So he sold it again
☞ So it was sold again
That Mary wanted to tell everybody what to do annoyed me
☞ I was annoyed that Mary wanted to tell everybody what to do
