USING THE CORRECT FORM OF THE PASSIVE VOICE CORRECTLY

As I mentioned in the previous post, passive voice can be tested in the English Language Testing. Te passive voice can be tested in some ways. One of them is the passive can be tested on the TOEFL test with an incorrect form of the passive. I will give you example. The following sentences are examples of passive errors that sometimes tested in English Language Testing, especially TEFL test:

  • ·         The portrait was painting* by Jonathan.
  • ·         The project will finished* by John.
Look at the first example. We can found that there is the passive formed incorrectly because the past participle painted should be used rather than the present participle painting.
Now look at the second example. We can found that there is the verb be that has not been included, and some form of be is necessary for a passive verb. The verb in the second sentence should be will be finished. The following chart outlines the way to form the passive correctly:
