The Passive

We use the active form to say what the subject does. For example:
· I speak English every day at work.
· I repaired the flat tire on the car.
We use the passive form to say what happens to people and things, to say what is done to them. For example:
· English is spoken here.
· The car is being repaired.
We use the passive form when we don't know who did the action. For example:
· The car was damaged while it was parked on the street.
· The shirts were made in Turkey.
We use the passive form when what was done is more important than who did it. For example:
· It was approved by Gerry last week.
· I was informed by the Human Resources Manager only two days ago.
