Passive Structures

Hi Experts,
how can I apply passive structures correctly?I am always afraid to apply them wrong.

Hello, For some reason, English learners seem fascinated with the passive. Unless you need to do transformation for school exercises, don't worry so much about them. There are only a few times when you really need the passive (when you don't know who did something, for example) and if you have a perfectly good active sentence, just leave it alone.

  • But if you just feel that you're missing an essential part of English and it concerns you, don't worry about it.
