It is believed by most IELTS and TOEFL essay graders that this is a bad opening sentence. The reason for this is that it unnecessarily uses a passive form. They recommend using the active voice unless there is a purpose to the passive.
In this video, we will look at the construction of the passive in all tenses and in combination with other structures. We will also look at the main reasons to use the passive, such as for variety, as a cohesive device, and others.
It is very important not only to know how to use this structure, but when to use it.

Learn English Grammar: What’s the difference between ACTIVE \u0026 PASSIVE?
What are the active and passive voices in English? We use the active voice in a sentence when the subject performs a verb. For example: “Jim wrote a letter”. We use the passive voice when the subject is acted on by the verb. For example: “The letter was delivered by the postman”. Now, when should you use which voice? That is the question! In this English grammar lesson, I will teach you about using the active and passive voices. I will explain in more detail the difference between the two and give you lots of examples to solidify your understanding. I will also show you how to change a sentence from active to passive, or passive to active. You will learn some reasons why you might choose one or the other. This will help you in everyday speaking, as well as in writing, making your English more varied and interesting.

Passive Voice Example (Learn English)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nlc_voDRw Click here for an explanation on the passive voice.
In the example, I said, \”It was built between 1889 and 1895.\”
I was talking about the Biltmore Estate and the clip was taken from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tWYC4bA8Sc
I used the passive voice because I wanted to put the focus on the building (it) and not the person who built it.

Practice the Passive Voice with scenes from TV shows
Practice the passive voice by watching these scenes from popular TV series. I don’t own these videos. I’m using them for educational purposes.
I’m sorry, but there’s a typo in on the blue screens. Instead of \”passive,\” I typed \”pasive.\”
