Grammar revision Subject Verb Object Agent active The farmer grows wheat   passive Wheat is grown   by the farmer The object of the active verb becomes the subject in the new sentence. The active verb changes into passive form and the subject of the active verb becomes the agent (the person who does the action) and is introduced with ‘by’. We say ‘by + agent’ to say who or what did the action. We use ‘with + material/instrument/ingredient’ to say what instrument or material is used by the agent. The passive is used: Ø when the agent is unknown, unimportant or obvious from the context; Ø when the action is more important than the agent.

Look through text A, underline the verbs used in passive. Translate the sentences into Ukrainian.
