LEARN THIS! The passive

We form the passive with the verb 1.................... and the 2.................... of the main verb. The object of an active verb can become the 3.................... of a passive verb.

They haven't found a cure for colds yet. (a cure = object)

→Acure for colds hasn't been found yet. (a cure = subject)

If we need to mention the agent, we use 4....................

Enormous public baths were built by the Romans.

3 We use the passive:

a when we do not know (or do not want or need to say) who does something.

b for more formal language, e.g, for processes.

First, the coffee beans are dried. Then they are roasted.

c when we want to focus on the person to whom the action is done, not the person doing the action.

4 We use the 5.................... and past continuous forms of the passive, but we do not use other continuous forms.

Hygiene is being improved.

Hygiene has been being improvedX

→They have been improving hygiene.

5 Rewrite the sentences (1-5) in the passive. Match them with rules (2-4) in the Learn this! box. The sentences may match with more than one rule.

A history of hygiene

Ancient ideas of hygiene

The ancient Greeks and Egyptians enjoyed relatively high standards of personal hygiene they had been taught about the importance of cleanliness by their religious leaders. But it was the Romans who developed the first public toilets and enormous public baths.

19th century developments

Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister's revolutionary ideas about using sterile instruments in clean hospitals were adopted in the 19th century. Before then, up to half of Lister's patients who had survived surgery were being killed by infections spread by germs. Infection and disease haven't been eliminated entirely in our hospitals yet, but they have been significantly reduced.

Today and tomorrow

Although hygiene in developing countries is being improved all the time, 36% of the world's population is still affected by poor hygiene. Furthermore, medical organisations will be challenged in the future by new infections and diseases; the world's population is so closely connected that potentially catastrophic epidemics  will be transmitted around the globe in days.

6 Read the text below. Then rewrite the underlined sentences (1-8) in the passive. Decide whether you need to include the agent.

It was called "The Great Mortality, but today 1we know it as the Black Death. In 1348, 2rats brought the plague fromAsia to Europe. 3The disease killed millions of people. The cities were overcrowded with frightened people and 4coughs and sneezes quickly infected them. Similarly, in 2019, 5COVID-19 attacked different areas of the world. 6The virus corona infected millions of people. 7Authorities had to lock down many cities to stop the infection. This virus is still popular but 8vaccines can save patients from danger.
