Grammar

We use the ‘passive voice’ when we want to focus more on the object and the action, and less on the subject.

We do not use ‘by’ in the passive voice if the person who does the action is not specific or important.

passive voice = be + past participle

Active voice: Chase lifts a 2-tonne car. Passive voice: A 2-tonne car is lifted by Chase. We can use ‘by’ to say who does the action.

Bruce has done volunteer work at a few charities over the years. He is telling Faye

and Chase about them.

Charities Around the World

WWF, World Wildlife Fund for Nature, is one of

the largest environmental groups in the world. It

was founded in 1961 in Switzerland. Its logo is a

giant panda. WWF works hard to protect the natural

environment and endangered animals, such as tigers,

pandas and sea turtles. WWF gives talks at schools

to teach young people the importance of protecting

nature.

Oxfam has only one goal – to help the poor

and the needy. When there is a war or a disaster,

for example, an earthquake or flooding, Oxfam

will provide clean water, food and protection to the

people in need. It also has some long-term projects

in poor countries, for example, teaching farmers to

sell crops for a fair price.
