Studying the passive voice, focusing on the present perfect passive voicePassive Voice The passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an
21、action. The Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Participle It is often used in business and in other areas where the object of the action is more important than those who perform the action. For Example: We have produced over 20 different models in the past two years. Changes to: Over
22、20 different models have been produced in the past two years. If the agent (the performer of the action) is important, use “by” For Example: Tim Wilson wrote “The Flight to Brunnswick” in 1987.

23、an be used in the passive. The following chart includes sentences changed from the active to the passive in the principal tenses. Active Passive Time Reference They make Fords in Cologne.

26、 page 26 and scan the text for all the examples of the present perfect passive voice. Our fur is being used to make sweaters like yours.She was being watched by an excited elephant.Now try to put the following sentences into The Present Perfect Passive Voice.
