Passive voice | Speaking

 

It is important to remember that the most important skill in learning this language is speaking. If you only strengthen your grammar, reading, writing and vocabulary, you will not build your confidence when it comes to speaking.

Most of the students forget about this skill, that's why they usually understand when they are spoken to, but they don't know how to respond in English. 

For this reason, we have created this strategy to help you express yourself in English.

This is what you have to do to practice your speaking:

1. Practice the pronunciation of these sentences.

• Active: She bakes a cake.
• Passive: A cake is baked by her.
