Grammar fun
In this month’s grammar fun section we’ll be looking at the
passive voice with future tenses.
To start with, look at these two
sentences:
a)
She will direct the film.
b)
The film will be directed (by her).
The first sentence is an active
sentence, with “she” as the main
subject. We use an active verb to say
what the subject does.
Sentence “b” is a passive sentence.
Notice how the object “the film” has
become the subject of the sentence.
We form future passives with “will be”
+ a past participle. For example:
Will be eaten, will be taken, will be
shown, will be given, etc.
We use the passive voice when the
object of a sentence becomes the
subject. For example:
a)
She will complete the work.
b)
The work will be completed by her.
As you can see, in sentence “b” (the
passive sentence) “work” has become
the subject of the sentence.
We form negatives by using “won’t” or
“will not”. For example:
a)
We will not pay the bill. (active)
b)
The bill won’t be paid. (passive)
Here are some more examples of the
future passive.
1)
They will do something about the
situation. (active)
Something will be done about the
situation (by them). (passive)
2)
They will invite you to the party.
(active)
You will be invited to the party (by
them). (passive)
this
message will
be understood
perfectly
by them.
4)
This programme will generate
thousands of jobs. (active)
Thousands of jobs will be generated
(by this programme). (passive)
5)
They will understand this message.
(active)
This message will be understood (by
them). (passive)
6)
They will renovate these old
buildings. (active)
These old buildings will be
renovated (by them). (passive)
7)
This new system will reduce our
production costs. (active)
Our production costs will be
reduced (by this new system).
(passive)
8)
We will not purchase the new
computer. (active)
The new computer will not be
purchased. (by us). (passive)
the job
will be
finished by
a different
company.
these old
buildings will

renovated.

Jokes, stories and anecdotes as told by native English speakers.
Visitor: Why are you crying?
Zoo keeper: The elephant is
dead.
Visitor: He must have been a
very special elephant.
Zoo keeper: No, not really.
Visitor: So,
what’s up?
Zoo keeper: I’ve got to
dig
his
grave.
A man walks into a public
toilet. He sees two
cubicles,
one of which is already
occupied.
So, the man goes
into the other one, closes the
door,
undoes his trousers
and sits down. A few seconds
later, he hears a voice coming
from the cubicle next to him,
“Hello mate, how are
you doing?”
The man
thinks,
A woman tells her friend, “My
husband is an
angel”.
And her
friend replies, “You’re lucky.
My husband is still alive.”
My Dearest Susan,
sweetheart
of my heart. I’ve
been so sad since I
broke
off
our
engagement.
Simply
devastated.
Won’t you please
consider coming back to me?
You hold a place in my heart
that no other woman can fill.
I can never marry another
woman quite like you. I need
you so much. Please
forgive
me and let’s make a new start.
I love you so. Yours always and
truly, John.
PS Congratulations
on winning the
lottery.
