2. Language focus:

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.

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)
