    @Maple Leaf ESL: 1) Are there any specific set of rules with the verb changes from active to passive? 2)Are they cases when the passive conversion it does not have the verb to be in any form ? 3) Active Voice: He will have received the letter. Passive Voice: The letter will have been received by him ( as given here, do we always maintain the same tense of the active sentence? Thank you so much, sorry for my rather long query! I appreciate your videos so much!

    • @mapleleafesl6162
      @mapleleafesl6162  5 років тому +2

      Hi Marie, 1) I think I outlined the rules in the video, no? 2) Without the verb, it's probably no longer a true sentence 3) Both of your sentences are correct. Changing the form would then change the nuance or even the full meaning.

    Thank you Andrew for lesson. I have a question. What is the difference between "I'm told' and I've been told'? Can I use it in Continuous Passive?

    • @mapleleafesl6162
      @mapleleafesl6162  7 років тому +2

      Hi Olegman, thanks for the question. There's not a big difference between those two expressions. However, I might say that 'I'm told' means I was directly told something quite recently, whereas 'I've been told' sounds like I was told something at an indeterminate time in the past, not necessarily recently. Hope this helps!

    "When the object becomes the focus." You've dropped "s" in a verb "become".

    • @mapleleafesl6162
      @mapleleafesl6162  6 років тому +2

      Because I wrote 'object/action' which is two things and hence plural, I wrote 'become'.

    Thanks a million dear friend. I have a question plz reply it,
    That is eg. The decision has been made to increase local taxas .
    Can we use was, is, instead of has been?
    How to identify brother? Im in little bit confusion

    • @mapleleafesl6162
      @mapleleafesl6162  5 років тому +2

      In this sentence, 'was' could certainly be used: "The decision was made to increase local taxes." The difference is that with 'was' the decision was made in the past, and perhaps has no connection to the present. With 'has been' there is a connection to the present or at least the very recent past. So, for instance: "The decision has recently been made to increase taxes," vs. "The decision was made a long time ago to increase taxes."

    • @mapleleafesl6162
      @mapleleafesl6162  6 років тому

      Both sentences are correct and both are passive. The difference is that in the sentence 'the TV is broken' it shows the current state of the TV, whereas in the sentence 'the TV was broken' it indicates more about the action of what happened to the TV in the past.

    As for the passive voice, what is the difference between these similar sentences? Which one sounds the most natural to the native speakers?
    My wallet was stollen.
    My wallet got stollen.
    I got my wallet stollen.

      @mapleleafesl6162  5 років тому +3

      All of them certainly work and they all mostly sound natural. I might say the last one would be the sentence I would use the least but really that's just splitting heirs. Also, don't forget that it's 'stolen'.
