Welcome back!

 And Happy 2015

In our first lesson this term we were learning how to talk about films or movies.

These are the questions we used and must learn:

What kind of movie is it?

Who is in it? or Who starred in it?

Where does it take place?

What is it about? or What happens in it?

How does it end?

What did critics say about it?

We studied the passive voice of verbs.

Why do we use passive voice? When we are more interested in the action itself than in the subject.

How is a passive verb formed?

To be in the right tense + past participle (3rd column) of the verb we want.

Ex: The wall is (Present verb to be) painted (past participle verb to paint) black.

It is not important who painted the wall, only that it is painted.
