ReplyDeleteIn today lesson, I learned that in English, as in Italian, we use the passive form when to highlight the action rather than who performs it; The second things I learned is that, the passive form is contrived whit the appropriate tense of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb; and the last thing I learned is that "is/are" are used for the present and "was/were" for the past.
The things I find easy are the structure and when to use it.
Finally my question is in everyday language the passive interrogative form is often used?
Yes, of course. You can ask questions without specifying who does the action.
Deletee.g. Will the class be cancelled?
Here a quick exercise.
