Passive Voice

This is one of the most important aspects in the exams......I know preliminary exams and PSLE are difficult...
Fighting! 加油!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Use passive sentences when you want to emphasise the effect of an action and when it is not important to mention the doer of an action, or if you do not know who the doer is.

Example: Children who are brought up in the equatorial country of Colombia have a different lifestyle from children in Sweden.

When you want to say who the doer of the action is in a passive sentence, use "by + person".

Tense of passive sentence:

has/have been + past participle
