Now, you will do a team task with the Jigsaw technique. All of you must move to the Expert Group, as we divided in the last meeting.

EXPLANATION TEXT

- Simple present tense (habit, facts, routine, hobby)
- Passive voice
- Using action verbs; grow, wide, knock, jump, run, etc.
- Chronological Connectors; First, second, after that, finally, then, etc.
- Abstract Noun; Beginning, happiness, courage, displeasure, love, etc.
- Causal conjunction: because, because of, so that, hence, etc.

Now, we have to move to the expert group.

After all explanations, we can start to write the explanation text cooperatively and then individually.

Multiple Choice

When do we use passive voice?

• The person or thing responsible for the action in the sentence comes first.

PASSIVE VOICE

In a passive sentence, the person or thing acted on comes first, and the actor is added at the end, introduced with the preposition “by.” The passive form of the verb is signaled by a form of “to be”: in the sentence above, “is formulated” is in the passive voice while “formulates” is in the active.
