When do we use the passive form?
We use the passive to focus on what happens: the action or process which takes place. information about the agent (who or what does the action) doesn’t need to appear in the sentence. The passive is often used in formal writing contexts such as academic, business or legal texts and also when describing processes which consist of a series of stages.
What's the difference between a defining relative clause and a non-defining relative clause?
The defining relative clause gives information about the noun that precedes it in the sentence. The information in a defining relative clause is essential for the sentence to make sense: it identifies exactly what is being referred to.
Non-defining relative clauses give information about the noun which is not essential to the sentence – the information can be omitted and the sentence will still make sense.
Which conditional do we use to talk about things that are generally true or that we think are likely to happen?
If + present simple, will + inf. without to
If + past simple, would + infinitive without to
If + present simple, will + inf. without to (1st conditional)
If + past simple, would + infinitive without to
How do we choose between the active and the passive voice?
The choice between the use of the passive or active form of a verb depends on whether we want to emphasize the action (passive) or the agent (active).
Which sentences can have the relative pronoun omitted? Why?
a) Most people that object to doodling don't really understand its values.
