Grammar´s corner

The moment has come... tachán, tachán... a series of exercises related to the last grammatical point we saw in the book: the Passive Voice (applause,please!!). I´ve attached the copy I gave you out some days ago related to different verbal changes to face when we change from active to passive voice. Besides, you have a reading called¨Haunted" which is full of passive structures, the point is that you get used to observing how they work and are formed. While you read the text, you can also listen to it ...just click on the audio device you have in this web.Although the audio starts explaining the passive voice structure, after a few seconds starts narrating the story.
