Unit 2

Module 2.1: Use the active voice

使用主动语态

    ● "Subject verb object"

    ● What is the passive voice?

    什么是主动语态？

      -Object-Verb-Subject or Object-Verb

      -Classic example: "Mistakes were made"

    什么是被动语态？

      -Passive verb = a form of the verb "to be" + the past participle of the main verb.

      -The main verb must be a transitive verb (that is, take an object).

    ● Example:

      -My first visit to Boston will always be remembered by me (Passive voice).

      -I will always remember my first visit to Boston (Active voice).

      -She is loved.

      -Cigarette ads were designed to appeal especially to children.

      -(Try to rewrite as a active voice)

    ● More examples:

      ○ Passive: By applying a high resolution, 90 degree bending magnet downstream of the laser electron interaction region, the spectrum of the electron beams could be observed.-->

      Active: We could observe the spectrum of the electron beams by applying a high resolution, 90 degree bending magnet downstream of the laser electron interaction region.
