Revision Activity 1.3 Question 1

Transitive verbs Have to be followed by an object (person or thing to which the action of the verb is done ) to complete their meaning: I carried the baby They found the lost ring. We can make a cake

Intransitive verbs Do not need to be followed by an object to make sense. It happened. The children laughed. The girl went to the cinema. Many verbs can be transitive and intransitive: I was eating cf I was eating cake

Verb Tenses There are only two tenses: Past and Present

Future Time Strictly speaking, English does not have a future tense. Future time is created using a range of structures: the simple present: She starts next week the modal verbs shall or will + base form verb: I shall go to town later be going + infinitive: We are going to travel by train to be + present participle: The programme is starting in5 minutes will / shall + to be + present participle: I shall be writing again next week

Voice Active Voice most common – expresses action of the verb, directly linking it to the person or thing carrying out the action eg. The minister has issued an apology

Voice Passive Voice Changes focus of sentence by reordering the elements – the emphasis shifts to the object of the verb The subject (person or thing doing the verb) of the active sentence is moved to end of the passive sentence The object (person or thing receiving action of the verb) of the active sentence is moved to the front of the passive sentence and becomes the subject eg. An apology has been issued (by the minister)

Activity 1.3 Questions 3 and 4
