Please provide the sentences in columns A and B, and I'll be happy to help you complete column B.
1. The sentences using the active form of the verbs are in column A, while the sentences using the passive form are in column B.
2. In column A, we do know who or what did the action of the verbs in bold. In column B, we do not know (or it is not mentioned) who or what did the action of the verbs in bold.
1. We make the passive with the verb **to be** and the **past participle** form of the main verb.
2. We change the tense of the passive by changing the tense of **the verb 'to be'**.
3. What is more important: the action, or the person who did the action? **The action**.
4. If we want to say who/what did the action, which word do we use? **By**.
To answer the question, let's analyze the pronunciation of each word:
1. shown: ʃoʊn (the vowel sound is /oʊ/)
2. chosen: ˈʧoʊzən (the vowel sound is /oʊ/)
3. won: wən (the vowel sound is /ə/, which is a schwa sound, but we can approximate it to /o/)
4. lost: lɔst (the vowel sound is /ɔ/, which is close to /o/)
5. spoken: ˈspoʊkən (the vowel sound is /oʊ/)
6. known: noʊn (the vowel sound is /oʊ/)
7. dubbed: dəbd (the vowel sound is /ə/, which is a schwa sound, but we can approximate it to /o/)
8. done: dən (the vowel sound is /ə/, which is a schwa sound, but we can approximate it to /o/)
Now, let's answer the question:
The vowel sounds are pronounced as:
- /ow/ (/oʊ/) in the words "shown", "chosen", "spoken", and "known".
- /o/ in the words "lost", "won", "dubbed", and "done".
Here’s the completed text with the verbs in the passive voice:
Did you know ...?
• When a movie **is dubbed**, voice actors usually provide the dialogue in different languages, but sometimes the dubbing **is done** by the original actors, for example, Jodie Foster (French) and Viggo Mortensen (Spanish).
• The Martian **was screened** on a screen in space shortly after it was released. Astronauts watched it on the International Space Station. Maybe one day, it will be watched on Mars!
• The name "Oscars" **was given** by accident - an executive director of the Film Academy said the statues looked like her Uncle Oscar, and the name stuck! Since the awards began, about 3,000 Oscar awards **have been given**.
• It's surprising how many statues **are lost**! Angelina Jolie hid hers and doesn’t know where it is, and Matt Damon can't find his. Marlon Brando, who **won** best actor for his role in The Godfather, lost both of his statues.
• Na'vi, the language created for the 2009 movie Avatar, **is still learned** today! Fans learn new words and talk to other Na'vi speakers on learnnavi.org.
Based on the given information, we can analyze the pronunciation of the word "participles" as follows:
* The word "participles" is pronounced as /ˈpɑrtɪsɪpəlz/.
* The main stress is on the first syllable, indicated by the sign "ˈ".
* The breakdown of the pronunciation is:
+ /ˈpɑ/ sounds like "part"
+ /ɪ/ sounds like a short "i"
+ /sɪ/ sounds like a short "is"
+ /pəlz/ sounds like "pools" with a "z" sound at the end (the "s" is voiced, making it a "z" sound)
Now, to practice saying the passive sentences with the correct pronunciation of the past participles, I would suggest going to the Communication practice pages as indicated: Student A page 161, Student B page 170.
