Perfect English Grammar The Passive
Perfect English Grammar The Passive explains how the passive is formed in every tense, why a writer chooses it, and where the by-phrase goes. Perfect English Grammar is a grammar site written by one English teacher, who also records the video version of each explanation. The page carries that video, a printable explanation and a list of seven exercises graded from intermediate to difficult.
Limits of the Free Tier Plan: The explanation, the video and the exercises linked from the page open without an account, and the explanation downloads as a PDF at no charge. The site sells a grammar course and books from the same menu, and those are the only parts that cost anything; the lesson on the passive and its practice pages are free.
How It Helps Your Business English
The page gives a written explanation of the passive, starting from an active sentence and showing what moves where, with the form of be and the past participle in each tense. A video of the same explanation sits at the top, the text downloads as a PDF, and a list links to seven exercises on the passive.
Read or watch the explanation, then take the exercises in the order listed, from the present simple through mixed tenses, verbs with two objects and subordinate clauses. Each one marks itself, so you can tell whether the gap is the tense or the participle. Keep the PDF beside you as you write, and check your sentence against it when you are unsure whether to name the doer.
