Unit 1
Passive Voice

A. Grammar Session
 There are two special forms for verbs called voice. They are active voice and passive

voice.
The active voice is the "normal" voice. This is the voice that we use most of the time. You
are probably already familiar with the active voice. In the active voice, the object receives
the action of the verb:

subject verb object

active >
Cats eat fish.

The passive voice is less usual. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the
verb:

subject verb object

passive <

Fish are eaten by cats.

The object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb:

subject verb object

active Everybody drinks water.

passive Water is drunk by everybody.

 Construction of the Passive Voice
The structure of the passive voice is very simple:

subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main verb (past participle)
The main verb is always in its past participle form.
Look at these examples:

subject auxiliary verb (to be) main verb (past participle)

Water is drunk by everyone.

100 people are employed by this company.

2019 Page 1

Modul English Highlight

I am paid in euro.
We are not paid in dollars.
Are they in yen?
paid

 Use of the Passive Voice
We use the passive when:

 we want to make the active object more important
 we do not know the active subject

subject verb object

give importance to active President was killed by Lee
object Kennedy Harvey
(President Kennedy) Oswald.

active subject unknown My wallet has been stolen. ?

Note that we always use “by” to introduce the passive object (Fish are eaten by cats).
Look at this sentence:
 He was killed with a gun.
Normally we use “by” to introduce the passive object. But the gun is not the active subject. The
gun did not kill him. He was killed by somebody with a gun. In the active voice, it would be:
Somebody killed him with a gun. The gun is the instrument. Somebody is the "agent" or "doer".

 Conjugation for the Passive Voice
We can form the passive in any tense. In fact, conjugation of verbs in the passive tense is rather
easy, as the main verb is always in past participle form and the auxiliary verb is always be.
To form the required tense, we conjugate the auxiliary verb. So, for example:

 present simple: It is made
 present continuous: It is being made
 present perfect: It has been made
Here are some examples with most of the possible tenses:

infinitive to be washed

present It is washed.

simple past It was washed.
future It will be washed.

conditional It would be washed.

2019 Page 2

Modul English Highlight

present It is being washed.

continuous past It was being washed.
future It will be being washed.

conditional It would be being washed.

present It has been washed.

perfect simple past It had been washed.
future It will have been washed.

conditional It would have been washed.

present It has been being washed.

past It had been being washed.
perfect continuous It will have been being washed.

future

conditional It would have been being washed.

Exercise 1
Change the following sentences to passive form. Be sure to use the same tense as in the
original sentence.
1. The court will try the case next week.
2. The heavy rains are ruining the crops.
3. A garage mechanic recognized the suspected killer.
4. A beautiful girl wearing a little white apron was serving the beverages.
5. His friends have recently given a party in his honor.
6. The store will deliver the furniture we ordered next week.
7. The young couple had just bought the car when some teen-agers stole it. (change both

8. A well-known art collector is donating several paintings to the museum. (put place before

the by-phrase)
9. The contractors were still building the stadium when the strike halted all construction.

(change both verbs)
10. Their travel agent will have carefully planned their itinerary long before they start on their

trip.

Exercise 2

A Clear Conscience
The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost.
Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lost his wallet while taking his
savings to the post office. Sam was sure that the wallet must have
been found by one of the villagers, but it was not returned to him.
Three months passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet’
outside his front door. It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it
contained half the money he had lost, together with a note which said :
“A thief, yes, but only 50 percent a thief!” Two months later, some
more money was sent to Sam with another note: “Only 25 percent a

Unit 2
Reported Speech

A. Grammar Session

 Reported speech is used to report the statements made by someone.
Example:

Direct Speech Reported (Indirect) Speech
She said, “I watch TV every day.”  She said (that) she watched TV every day.

He said, “I join the English club  He said (that) he joined the English club

at my school.” at his school.

 If the reporting verb (the main verb of the sentence, e.g. said, asked) is in the past, the
verb in the noun clause will usually also be in the past form. Notice the changes in the
verb form from the Direct Speech to Reported Speech in the following examples:

Direct Speech Reported (Indirect) Speech

Oscar said, “I watch TV every day.”  He said (that) he watched TV every day.
Oscar said, “I am watching TV.” He said he was watching TV.
Oscar said, “I watched TV.”  He said he had watched TV.
Oscar said, “I have watched TV.”  He said he had watched TV.

Oscar said, “I can watch TV.”  He said he could watch TV.
Oscar said, “I may watch TV.”  He might watch TV.
Oscar said, ”I must watch TV.”  He said he had to watch TV.
Oscar said, “I should watch TV.”  He said he should watch TV.

Oscar said, “I might watch TV.”  He said he might watch TV.
Oscar said, “I have to watch TV.”  He said he had to watch TV.
Oscar said, “I ought to watch TV.”  He said he ought to watch TV.

 Pay attention to the changes of the sentences structure below. Page 6
1. (DS) My father said, “I don’t know anything about Mr. Red.”
(IS) My father said (that) he didn’t know anything about Mr. Red.
2. (DS) The teacher said, “Where do you live?”
(IS) The teacher wanted to know where I lived.
3. (DS) Sonia asked me, “Will you come to my party tomorrow?”

4. (DS) Oscar said to Rita, “Open the window!”

(IS) Oscar asked Rita to open the window.
5. (DS) Gerry said, “Don’t lock the door!”

(IS) Gerry asked not to lock the door.

 When the reporting verb is in the Present, the noun clause verb is not changed.
Example:
(DS) She says, “I watch TV everyday.”
(IS) She says (that) she watches TV everyday.

 Sometimes the present tense is retained when the reported speech deals with a general
truth.
Example:
(DS) She said, “The world is round.”
(IS) She said that the world is round.

Unit 3
Taq Questions

A. Grammar Session
Tag Question
A tag question is a question that is added onto the end of a sentence. An auxiliary verb is used in a
tag question.
In a tag question, the speaker makes a statement, but is not completely certain of the truth, so he
or she uses a tag question to verify the previous statement. Sentences using tag questions should
have the main clause separated from the tag by a comma. The sentences will always end with a
question mark.
Example:
a. There are only twenty-eight days in February, aren’t there?
b. The boys don’t have class tomorrow, do they?
c. You won’t be leaving for another hour, will you?
d. You have two children, don’t you?
e. Jill and Joe have been to Mexico, haven’t they?

Note:
Observe the following rules:
1. Use the same auxiliary verb as the main clause. If there is no auxiliary, use do, does, or

did.
2. When the main verb is affirmative, the tag question is negative. When the main verb is

negative, the tag question is affirmative.
3. Don’t change the tense.
4. Use the same subject in the main clause and the tag. The tag must always contain the

subject form of the pronoun.
5. The verb have may be used as a main verb (ex. no 4) or it may be used as an auxiliary

(ex. No 5). When it function as a main verb, the auxiliary forms do, does, or did must be
used in the tag.

Exercise I
Finish these sentences by adding a tag question with the correct form of the verb and the subject

pronoun!

Unit 4
Conditional Sentences

A. Grammar Session
 We usually use conditional sentences when we talk about uncertain events and situation, things
which may or may not happen, which may or may not true. We call them conditional sentences
because we deal with a certain condition.
 A conditional sentence contains two clauses : the if clause, and the main clause. Either of the
clauses can come at the beginning of the sentences.

If the weather is good, I will go to the beach.

If - clause Main clause

I will go to the beach, If the weather is good.

Main- clause If – clause

 There are three different types of conditional sentences. Each type is composed of a different
combination of tenses.

A. Conditional Sentences Type 1
 In this type, the If-clause tells about an event which may or may not happen in the
future. The main clause tells about an event which will happen if the condition is
fulfilled. That is why this condition is called a real condition.
 The if-clause is in the simple present tense. The main clause contains modal will +
infinitive

If she goes to the post office , she will get you some stamps.

simple present will+infinitive

a comma

She will get you some stamps If she goes to the post office.

will+infinitive simple present

no comma

 When the if-clause is written in the front, we use a comma at the end of the clause.
When the main clause is written at the back, we do not use a comma at the end of the
clause.

Exercise 1
Supply the correct verb forms for the future condition.

2019 Page 14

Modul English Highlight

1. If you (not understand) this math problem, I (explain) it to you.
2. We (take) the train if the weather (be) bad.
3. If it (rain) tomorrow, we (not, go) to the movie.
4. The manager (talk) about the project if Mr. Black Jack (come) on time.
5. If I (have) time, I (call) on you.
6. If she (study) her lesson, I am sure she (pass) the exam.
7. If we (have) an hour, we (finish) the work.

B. Conditional Sentences Type 2
 In this type, the condition could not actually happen at the present time. It is just an
imagination, a dream.
 The main clause tells about an event which could happen if the condition could really
happen. Again, the condition could not actually happen because it isn’t real. That is why
this condition is called a present unreal condition.
 The if-clause is in simple past tense and the main clause contains would + infinitive
 Conditional sentences type 2 are often used to express a wish, an ambition. The event
is not possible to happen. It’s just a wish. When we say “I wish I were you”, it is just a

wish because it cannot actually happen
 One characteristic of the conditional sentence type 2 is the use of the auxiliary verb

“were” for all subjects. These following if-clauses are correct :
If I were you, _______
If she were the teacher, _______

If he were my boyfriend, _______
If they were president now, _______
If we were poor people,

Example1: - (a) The weather isn’t nice today
True situation -
Using “If” (b) If the weather were nice today, I would go to the park.

simple past would + infinitive

Making a wish - (c) I wish the weather were nice today.

Example 2: - (a) I don’t have enough money.
True situation -
Using “If” (c) If I had enough money, I would buy a car.

simple past would + infinitive

Making a wish - (b) I wish I had enough money.

Exercise 2
Use the correct form of the verb in each of the following sentences in order to form the
present-unreal condition.

1. Jo doesn’t study hard. If he (study) harder, he (get) better grades.

2019 Page 15

Modul English Highlight

2. If I (be) you, I (tell) him the truth.
3. If money (grow) on trees, all of us (be) rich.
4. Airplane tickets are expensive. If they (be) cheap, I (fly) to Singapore for the weekend.
5. It isn’t Saturday. If it (be) Saturday, I (go) to the beach.
6. The student cafeteria is relatively inexpensive, but the food isn’t very good. I (eat) there all

the time if the food (be) better.
7. I don’t know how to swim. I (go) to the beach with you if I (know) how to swim.
8. I have to go to class today. If (have to go, not) to class today, I (go) shopping with you.
9. He doesn’t love her. If he (love) her, he (not, behave) so badly.
10. I’m so busy. I (watch) the movie with you if I (be, not) so busy.

C. Conditional Sentences Type 3
 In this type, we are referring to the past time. The if-clause tells about an event which
could have happened in the past. The main clause tells about an event which could

have happened if the condition had really happened. But, of course, the event did not

happen because the condition could not have happened.
 The condition in the if-clause is unreal because it could not have happened. This unreal

condition is in the past, so it is often called an unreal past condition.
 The if-clause is in the simple past perfect tense and the main clause contains would

have + past participle.

Example:

True situation - (a) The weather wasn’t nice yesterday.

Using “If” - (b) If the weather had been nice yesterday, I would have gone to the park.

past perfect would have + past participle

Making a wish - (c) I wish the weather had been nice yesterday.

2019 Exercise 3
Use the correct form of the verb in each of the following sentences in order to form the past-
unreal condition.

1. I didn’t have enough time yesterday. If I (have) enough time yesterday. I (go) to the park.
2. Mary didn’t come to my party last week. She (meet) my fiancé if she (come) to my party.
3. He didn’t wait for her. If he (wait), he (see) her.
4. She didn’t get up early. She (arrive ) on time if she (get) up early.
5. If I (see) him, I (give) him the message.
6. If J-Lo (have) more time, she (do) the work more carefully.
7. The man was in trouble. If he (know) English, he (not, have) that trouble.
