BE TO + INFINITIVE (I AM TO DO, FUTURE PERFECT(I WILL HAVE DONE), AND FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS (I WILL HAVE BEEN DOING)*• A- Be to + infinitive

Be to + infinitive is used to talk about formal or official arrangements, formal instructions, and to give orders. It is particularly common in news reports to talk about future events.

• Children are not to be left unsupervised in the museum.• You are not to leave the school without my permission.• The medicine is to be taken after meals.• The European Parliament is to introduce a new law on safety at work.• We only use be to + infinitive to talk about things that can be controlled by

people:• We don’t know where the meteorite is going to land, (not …the meteorite is to land.)• I suppose we will all die eventually, (not …we are all to die…)

Future Infinitive ( Be + To Infinitve )

Dear Learners,

We use future infinitve to express a sense of instruction or necessity.

1. President Obama is to visit Burma next week. ( Active )

2. Humanitarian aids are to be airlifted to the flooded Irrawaddyregion. ( Passive )

I hope you like it.

kind regards

We use be to + infinitive when discussing formal or official arrangements or to give formal instructions or orders and your examples illustrate these aspects very well. Further examples might be:•The Prime Minister is to make a further visit to Devon next week. •We are to receive a pay rise in line with inflation in September. •I don't mind her going to Ruth's party but she's not to be back late. •You are not to leave this house without my permission. Is that clear?

SIMPLE PAST TENSE.

• Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.

• Examples:• I saw a movie yesterday.• I didn't see a play yesterday.• Last year, I traveled to Japan.• Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.• Did you have dinner last night? • She washed her car.• He didn't wash his car.

PAST CONTINUOUS

• [was/were + present participle]• Examples:• You were studying when she called.• Were you studying when she called?• You were not studying when she called.

USE THE PAST CONTINUOUS TO INDICATE THAT A LONGER ACTION IN THE PAST WAS INTERRUPTED. THE INTERRUPTION IS USUALLY A SHORTER ACTION IN THE SIMPLE PAST. REMEMBER THIS CAN BE A REAL INTERRUPTION OR JUST AN INTERRUPTION IN TIME.

• Examples:• I was watching TV when she called.• When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.• While we were having the picnic, it started to rain.• What were you doing when the earthquake started? • I was listening to my iPod, so I didn't hear the fire alarm. • You were not listening to me when I told you to turn the oven off.• While John was sleeping last night, someone stole his car.• Sammy was waiting for us when we got off the plane. • While I was writing the email, the computer suddenly went off.• A: What were you doing when you broke your leg?

PASSIVE VOICE

• : Grammar : Verbs : Voice : Passive Active• Passive• Active/Passive• Quiz• Passive Voice• Mice are eaten by cats.• Although the passive voice is less common than the active

voice, there are several good reasons to sometimes use the passive. On this page we look at how to construct the passive voice and when and why to use it. (For a basic explanation of the difference between active and passive, please see voice.)

ACTIVE / PASSIVE VERB FORMS

• Sentences can be active or passive. Therefore, tenses also have "active forms" and "passive forms." You must learn to recognize the difference to successfully speak English.

• Active Form • In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject

of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object. Most sentences are active.

• [Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action]

EXERCISE ON PASSIVE VOICE - SIMPLE PRESENT• Rewrite the sentences in passive voice.• He opens the door. - • We set the table. - • She pays a lot of money. - • I draw a picture. - • They wear blue shoes. - • They don't help you. - • He doesn't open the book. - • You do not write the letter. - • Does your mum pick you up? - • Does the police officer catch the thief? -
