Passive Voice English Workbook - Grammar, SPAG, KS2, KS3, A2, B1

(0)
Are you looking for a workbook that supports students to both learn about the passive voice and apply it in various sentences? This workbook does just that! What’s included in the 40-page workbook? • General information page – when to use the passive voice • Instruction page – how to form the passive voice • Passive voice sentence mat + negative version • Three-page worksheets for EACH of the following passive sentence types: Present simple passive Past simple passive Future simple passive Present continuous passive Past continuous passive Be going to passive Present perfect passive Past perfect passive Future perfect passive • 9 pages of answers (one for each section of the workbook) Teaching note: each worksheet for the individual passive voice tense has four scaffolded parts. Part 1: writing basic passive sentence from an active sentence (doesn’t need the use of ‘by’) Part 2: filling in the gaps using the tense + past participle (most of them are irregular past participles) Part 3: writing more developed passive sentences from active sentences (use of irregular past participles + using ‘by’ on more occasions) Part 4: changing passive sentences back to active sentences Teaching note: this resource should be used with students who have been working with forming the past participle or are using verb tense mats to support learning. The workbook begins with more basic tenses and builds up to the more difficult ones. You could use this booklet at intervals across the year, or even for revision before key grammar-based exams.
