Sometimes you find wonderful teachers on the Net who don’t mind sharing their work. Carmen Torres, a teacher of English, has designed a presentation to help ESL teachers in their class to present and develop the Passive voice. Thank you Carmen!
Have a look at Carmen’s presentation. I hope it helps you understand ‘the passive’!

Hi everybody,
As you know, I’m not keen on lists to lear vocabulary. This is especially true if we talk about phrasal verbs. If you want to learn phrasal verbs I recommend that you always learn them in context.
In this video Steve explains the meaning of common phrasal verbs with ‘get’. You can do a quiz at the end of the video.

Hi everybody,
One of the things teachers find difficult to make students understand is that the ‘e’ in the past of regulars verbs is never pronounced. No matter how many times teachers correct the pronunciation of past regular verbs, students keep saying /talked/ or /happened/ instead of /tokt/ or /hapend/.
Just for the non-believers, Paul teaches you how to pronounce past regular verbs. Listen and repeat and next time you are in class be nice to your teacher and try to pronounce verbs properly. I bet your teacher will thank you greatly and people will understand your stories when you speak about the past.
