passives

Today we made an exercise about passives, it was really difficult maybe because the structure is a little complicated, in fact it seem easy but in my case when I tried to solve it, I can´t i had to analyse carefully each sentence in order to change the form. I read some information about passives and I think it helped me to understand better the topic, now I know passives can be used in different situations for instance:

When the agent is unknown or unimportant

• The stock as delivered to us this morning.

Systems and processes

• The figures are being finalised at the moment.

Formal reports and notices.

• The issue was raised by the company´s auditors.

Reporting unconfirmed information

• The CEO is said to be in favor of smart tags.
