Answer:

Active and passive voice

Level: beginner

Transitive verbs have both active and passive forms:

active   passive

The hunter killed the lion. > The lion was killed by the hunter.

Someone has cleaned the windows. > The windows have been cleaned.

Passive forms are made up of the verb be with a past participle:

 be past participle  

English is spoken all over the world.

The windows have been cleaned.  

Lunch was being served.  

The work will be finished soon.

They might have been invited to the party.

If we want to show the person or thing doing the action, we use by:

She was attacked by a dangerous dog.

The money was stolen by her husband.

Level: intermediate

The passive infinitive is made up of to be with a past participle:

The doors are going to be locked at ten o'clock.

You shouldn't have done that. You ought to be punished.

We sometimes use the verb get with a past participle to form the passive:

Be careful with that glass. It might get broken.

Peter got hurt in a crash.

We can use the indirect object as the subject of a passive verb:

active   passive

I gave him a book for his birthday. > He was given a book for his birthday.

Someone sent her a cheque for a thousand euros. >  

She was sent a cheque for a thousand euros.

We can use phrasal verbs in the passive:  

active   passive

They called off the meeting. > The meeting was called off.

His grandmother looked after him. > He was looked after by his grandmother.

They will send him away to school. > He will be sent away to school.  

Level: advanced

Some verbs which are very frequently used in the passive are followed by the to-infinitive:

be supposed to be expected to be asked to be told to

be scheduled to be allowed to be invited to be ordered to

John has been asked to make a speech at the meeting.

You are supposed to wear a uniform.

The meeting is scheduled to start at seven.
