2º Bach Unit 6 Passive Voice






Passive Activities and Charts




Two objects in an active sentence – two possible passive sentences

When there are two objects in an active sentence, there are two possible active sentences and two possible passive sentences.
  • Sentence 1: The professor gave the students the books.
  • Sentence 2: The professor gave the books to the students.
There are two objects in each of the following sentences:
  • Object 1 = indirect object → the students
  • Object 2 = direct object → the books
An indirect object is very often a person, a direct object a thing. When a direct object is followed by an indirect one, we put to in front of the indirect object.
