2. Language focus:  
2.1. Present passive voice  
a. Use  
We only use the passive when we are interested in the object or when we do  
not know who caused the action.  
Study these pairs of sentences.  
Naval architects design ships.  
Active  
Passive  
Active  
Passive  
Ships are designed by naval architects.  
First, they must measure the pieces of metal.  
First, the piece of metal must be measured.  
In each pair of sentences, the meaning is similar, but the object in the active  
sentence has become the subject in the passive one.  
b. Form  
The passive is formed by  
To be  
(in the required tense)  
past participle  
(of the main verb)  
+
We can only form a passive sentence from an active sentence when there is an  
object in the active sentence.  
- object of the "active" sentence becomes subject in the "passive" sentence  
- subject of the "active" sentence becomes "object" in the "passive"  
sentence" (or is left out)  
Active:  
Men  
builds  
a tanker.  
Passive:  
A tanker  
is built  
by men.  
13  
- The simple present passive voice  
S + am/is/are + Past participle (Pii)  
A: Men build a tanker.  
P: A tanker is built by men.  
- The present continuous passive voice  
S + am/is/are + being + Past participle (Pii)  
A: Men are building a tanker. A tanker is being built by men.  
- The present perfect passive voice  
S + have/has been + Past participle (Pii)  
A: Men have built a tanker.  
P: A tanker has been built by men.  
- Modal verbs in passive voice  
Can/could/may/might/must/should + be + Past participle (Pii)  
A: Men can build a ship. P: A ship can be built by men.  
Task 4. Rewrite the following sentences in passive voice.  
1. Naval architectures design many types of ships.  
............................................................................................................................  
2. Reefers carry vegetables, fruits and dairy products.

5. How long have they built that bulk carrier?  
............................................................................................................................  
2.2. Adverb of concession

matter how, no matter what and as, etc.  
Examples:

expected.  
- Even though the weather was cold, I went swimming.

15  
Picture 1.2. Types of vessels  
There are many different types of ships. However, according to their use,  
ships can be classified as follows.  
Dry cargo ships include general cargo vessels, container ships, bulk carriers,  
Ro-Ro ships, LASH ships and reefer ships. General cargo vessels carry packaged  
items such as furniture, machinery, footwear, garments, etc. Container ships carry  
containers of standard dimensions. Bulk carriers are specially designed ships to  
carry coal, grain, ore and other similar products in loose form. Roll-on/roll-off  
(RORO or ro-ro) are designed to carry wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trucks,  
trailers and cars that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels. The word  
“LASH” stand for “Lighter Aboard Ship”. A LASH ship has a main deck that is  
flat and without any obstacles. A LASH ship is used to transfer goods to and from  
moored ships. A refrigerated ship (a reefer) have refrigerated holds to transport  
goods requiring refrigeration such as fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, dairy  
Liquid cargo carriers include oil tankers, gas carriers and chemical carriers.  
Tankers are used for transporting oil and petroleum products. Tankers are known  
as Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) and Ultra Large Crude Carrier (ULCC). Gas  
carriers are known as liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers and liquefied petroleum  
gas (LPG). Chemical carriers carry different types of chemicals.  
Passenger ships include ferries, cruise ships and passenger liners. Ferries are  
the small-sized ships used to carry passengers and vehicles for short sea trips  
sailing close to the coast between two or more ports. Cruise ships are used for  
pleasure voyages. Passenger liners are the big-sized ships which operate on  
scheduled line voyages.  
A fishing vessel is a boat or ship used to catch fish in the sea, or on a lake or  
river. Trawlers are fishing vessels which drag their bag-shaped net through the  
water.  
16  
Specialised ships are designed to do special duties such as pilot boats, rescue  
and salvage ships, tugs, dredgers, drilling ships, cable laying ships and icebreakers.  
Although there is a wide variety of ships now, more new designs are expected.
