Hello, could you tell me please a difference between helpful and useful ?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thanks for the question. There is very little difference between the two. They are synonyms of each other. Helpful means that something has been of service or assistance. Useful means that something is valuable and/or capable of being put to use

about a controversial renovation : years ago quite a lot of money was spent to renovate a magnificent old church located on the main street of my city.People were for and against the project. it made waves, certainly. The project was finally given the ok.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Oh, I'm curious to know how the project turned out! Great use of the passive voice with "The project was finally given the ok."

[@gmmobassir8044]

Super happy

[@mariajesusmartinezbermejo6527]

in the end civil authorities on the one hand and religious ones on the other could reach an agreement in order to share the cost of the church renovation. the idea was to restore the facade leaving the inside as it was originally; to everybody´s content. so far, so good. private funding contributed to the restoration as well.

Hi Teacher! What is the difference between passive voice of these sentences “ Your order is delivered” and Your order has been delivered? Pls Clarify.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thanks for the question. The correct form would be "Your order was delivered" or "Your order has been delivered." Both indicate that a package has successfully arrived at its destination at some point in the post. Who delivered it is not important.

May I to know which verbs can be used passive voice? Recently, I found out one word "arrive" , this word can't use in passive voice sentence, It just like "The goods hasn't arrived, but can't" The goods hasn't been arrived." Could you teach me more about?😊

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for the question. I'd be happy to add this idea as a future lesson.

[@chanmeidessert4802]

Awesome, I'm glad to hear that.😊

[@sessiacosta8890]

For changing an active sentence to passive voice, it is crucial to identify if the sentence have an object. The object takes the subject position in passive sentences. If a sentence doesn't have an object, that sentence can't be changed. Verbs followed by objects are called transitive. On the other hand, verbs which are followed by prepositional phrases are intransitive and don't have any object.
