Formazione del present simple passive

Present simple passive (si usa per descrivere dati di fatto o un processo)

Si forma con il Present simple del verbo be più il past participle del verbo principale.
English breakfast is(isn’t) served until 11 a.m.

Is English breakfast served until 11 a.m? Yes/No it is/isn’t

Spesso la forma passiva rende il “sì” passivante italiano

English is spoken here = qui si parla inglese

Uso del complemento di termine

Se c’è un complemento di termine e non un complemento oggetto, il complemento di termine può

diventare soggetto della frase passiva.

Esempio: “Ai bambini viene detto di giocare” = Children are told to play

Grow = coltivare

Manufacture = fabbricare

Produce = produrre

Used to = parlare di situazioni o abitudini passate che non sono più tali al presente.

Esempio: I used to play with dolls when I was a child

I didn’t use to play..

Did I use to play..?

Riflessioni su abitudini passate

I used to play with my friends every day and I used to go to the park with my family and my dog because

Ihad more free time, now I must study every day during the school year.

I didn’t use to go out only with my friends, but I used to be always accompanied by my parents.

I used to go to bed early and I used to drink milk every night.

I used to watch cartoons after lunch and films after dinner on my favorite sofa.

When I was a child, I used to be very carefree.”
