[@AngloLinkEnglish]

3. After a Modal Verb (e.g. may) you should use the infinitive regardless of the subject: HE may HAVE. 13. This has to do with the rules of question formation. I recommend you watch the video lesson entitled 'Questions'.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

After a Modal Verb (may, might, can, could etc.), you must use the infinitive without to. That is why it is always 'may have', never 'may has'.

[@spiderjerusalem4009]

@@AngloLinkEnglish your welcome Miss, and my i ask some questions for you ? If we use passive voice, Is "by" always put in the end Verb or Adverb? Because i've been so worried about what i was doing during test last afternoon. "My fiancé sent me a package holiday to Hawaii" Can i answer "i was sent by my fiancé a package holiday to Hawaii. " ??? And for my last questions What is the passive voice of 1. Pat has promised to recommend her stockbucker to me. 2. We met to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you for once again miss!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

1. I would change the order to: I was sent a package holiday to Hawaii by my fiance. (Keep the direct object with the verb.) 2. It's a bit forced, but you could say: I've been promised by Pat that she'll recommend ..... 3. I can't think of any meaningful or correct Passive alternative for this sentence. If you find the answer, let me know!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, we can certainly use 'always' before a 'Past Participle', both in active and passive sentences: I have always done it this way. / It has always been done this way.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

The main difference is the Tense: How are these goals achieved (each time)? Present Simple How are these goals going to be achieved (in the future)? 'going to' Future

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

It is a question, so you must invert the subject and the object: When CAN a meeting be scheduled?'

[@Renatarelland]

If I have had a teacher like you in my student life I would be fluent in English. Thank you so much for these video. I love English language! I hope going in England in Christmas to see if I am able to speak correctly. God bless you.

Mam I am so thankful to you.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

After 'does', you should always use the infinitive: 'Does it HAVE ...' not 'Does it has ...'. You may want to review the formulation of questions and negatives with auxiliaries in my video lessons called 'Questions' and 'Negatives Part 1'.

[@jasonsurla4422]

I am a student. I am weak in passive voice. My mother suggested why don'tyou check youtube for passive voice lesson. I found your video i first saw passive voice -english lessons after i done this exercises i found them very useful thanks

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Jason David You're welcome. I'm glad you've enjoyed this lesson. You will find similar lessons and other practice materials on my website www.anglo-link.com under 'Video Lessons' and 'Exercises'.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

After a Modal Verb (may), you must always use the infinitive without to (have). I have done 3 videos on Modal Verbs, which you can watch to review them.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

It is right. Maybe it is the preposition at the end of the sentence that makes it sound strange to you, but that is where it must go.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

After 'does', you should drop the 's': DOES the assignment HAVE to ..'

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, nursery rhymes and nice cartoons are great for kids. I wouldn't worry too much about teaching them every word unless they specifically ask you about a word. Let them enjoy the songs and stories and learn the language through context.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Questions: If you find it difficult to change a question into its passive form directly, you can change it into an affirmative sentence first and then create your question from the Passive Form of the affirmative sentence. Two objects: I explain that in the lesson. You may want to watch it again.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you, Cristina! I'm very glad that my lessons have been helpful.

[@mrennie2149]

I teach advanced English, and find these two lessons on the passive voice excellent. However, in the exercises, I would have transformed the word order of #7 into the passive differently: Not "How long was this task spent on?" but rather "How long was spent on this task?" Otherwise, a challenging and useful set of exercises for intermediate/advanced students.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Indeed, there's a mistake in that sentence. I had annotated the slide with the correction, but annotations have been removed by YT. I'm glad the rest of the lesson has been helpful to you.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you, Mustafa and Ahmed, for the question and answer. As I recommended in the video, if you have any doubts about the Tenses, in this case the difference between Present Perfect (have done) and Past Perfect (had done), you should first review all the Tenses in the Active forms, then study the Passive Voice. My video 'ALL TENSES' will help you with this review.

In my video on 'Listening Skills', I describe the aspects of the language that make native speakers hard to understand. Once you have watched that video and maybe taken some notes for yourself, I recommend that you do 'transcription' exercises, using different subjects and different accents, to gradually train your ears to hear those tricky links, contractions and weak forms.

[@verynaughtyfellowman]

In the 24th sentence. You transformed the sentence : People don't always follow these rules into 'These rules are not always followed'. My question is can we use the word 'always' before a past participle verb. Like '....... always forgotten/cheated etc.,' I forgot to mention this video was prepared with very much efficacy a very big thank you to and your team.

The word 'series' is a singular word, and the 's' is just the letter it ends in. That is why it is 'A series', and also takes a singular verb.

Why in number 13 the word you used was have and not has? Assignment is singular so wouldn't it be: Does this assignment has to be done today. Or do the word does affects in the use of have/has?

[@vzf92781]

In no. 13 , the answer is wrong.....we never use do/does/did in passive voice. It should be Is this assignment to be done by me today? Hopefully mine is correct

Sometimes you really don't know who the actor is / was (in scientific experiments for example), or you don't want to blame someone directly (as gioa888 points out above). In these cases, the Passive Voice is the appropriate form.

Yes, the Second Conditional can also be called the 'Unreal Conditional', because we are imagining a condition that cannot be true or is highly improbable. I would say that, for the Consequence Clause, if you use 'would', you indicate that if the condition were fulfilled, the consequence would certainly follow. If you use 'could', you indicate that the consequence could possibly follow: If I were a millionaire, I would definitely buy a Ferrari. / I could buy a Ferrari, or maybe not.
