·          Pre-Speaking Task (s)

 

1)       Revise/pre-teach vocabulary teacher elicits vocabulary:

-          Worldwide /ˈwəːl(d)wʌɪd,wəːl(d)ˈwʌɪd/ adjective extending or reaching throughout the world.

-          Artificial intelligence (n) the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

-          Colleagues /ˈkɒliːɡ/ noun a person with whom one works in a profession or business.

-          Academy /əˈkadəmi/ noun a place of study or training in a special field.

-          Software /ˈsɒf(t)wɛː/  noun the programs and other operating information used by a computer.

-          Publisher /ˈpʌblɪʃə/ noun a company or person that prepares and issues books, journals, or music for sale.

 

2)      Revise target item:

Teacher tries to elicit passive sentence in positive, negative, and questions

*    Positive

Reporters write news reports.

News reports are written by reporters.

• My father fixed our computers.

• Our computers were fixed by my father.

*   Negative

She does not invite me to parties.

I am not invited to parties by her.

The dog did not chase the cat.

The cat was not chased by the dog.

*      Use:

1.      We use the passive voice when the subject is not important or when we do not know the subject. For instance, scientists often use the passive voice to talk about their experiments, since the results of an experiment are more important than the people who carried it out.

Active voice: We carried out this experiment to test a new cancer treatment.

Passive voice: This experiment was carried out to test a new cancer treatment. (= It does not matter who carried out the experiment)

2.      The passive voice is also used to avoid revealing the subject. For instance, if you notice your roommate often leaves the bathroom lights on, you can say:

Active: I noticed that you often leave the bathroom lights on.

Passive: I noticed that the bathroom lights are often left on.

By using the passive voice, you avoid directly blaming your roommate.

How do we form the Passive Voice?

A sentence in the active voice focuses on the subject:

  • Subject + Verb + Object
  • The bear ate a fish.
  • John broke our TV.

A sentence in the passive voice focuses on the action:

  • Subject + Helping Verb be + Past Participle (+ 'by' Agent of Action)
  • The fish was eaten (by the bear).
  • Our TV was broken by John.

In the sentences above, the agents (in parentheses) can be omitted.

Other forms of the Passive Voice

To negate a sentence in passive voice, put 'not' after the helping verb: Subject + Helping Verb be + 'not' + Verb (past participle)

  The fish was not eaten.

   The TV was not broken.

To form the passive voice in future tense, use the future tense of the helping verb 'be'.

  • The fish will be eaten.
  • The TV will not / won't be broken.

3)      Controlled Practice:

With Agent

  • The museum will be visited by millions of people. (= Millions of people will visit the museum.)
  • Once a week, the house is cleaned by the housekeeper. (= Once a week, the housekeeper cleans the house.)
  • was hit by somebody. (= Somebody hit me.)

Without Agent

  • Dinner is served at 6:00. (= They serve dinner at 6:00.)
  • The table is set. (= We set the table.)
  • The money wasn’t stolen. (= Nobody stole the money.)

Past Participle

past participle indicates a completed action.

For most verbs, the past participle is the same as the past tense and is created by adding a d, ed or ied at the end of the word. These are called regular verbs.

However, the past participles of irregular verbs do not end in ed and may not be the same as the past tense of the verb. Since they are irregular, they do not follow any pattern and the best way to learn them would be to repeat and memorize them.

Present Perfect Tense

We join have or has to the past participle of the verb to form the present perfect tense:

have/has + past participle = present perfect tense

Examples:

They have gone to the movies.
have lost my wallet.
She 
has done her homework.
Have you found your keys yet?
It 
has not rained for months.
Martha 
has been sick.

6.    Concept checking:

Then Teacher writes the form in the box under the target item table.

·    Checking meaning:

-       What does the meaning of past participle?

·      Checking use:

-  The past participle is used with the verb have (have / has / had) to create the present and past perfect tenses. The past participle form is also used to modify nouns and pronouns. One example is the phrase sliced bread. The past participle is usually the same as the past tense form.
