Rule Of The Passive Voice Form
B. NOTICING THE USE
In this stage, the teacher will guide students to figure out the use of the passive voice. This can be done by asking the students this question:
Why wasn’t the doer of the action mentioned in sentences 1, 2, and 3?

1. 
   Because the focus is on the action not on the doer of the action.
   
2. 
   Because we don’t know who the doer of the action is.
   
3. 
   Both a and b.
   

Once the students understand the form and use of the passive voice, they are asked to underline all the remaining passive verbs in the text above.
Step 4: Practice
After understanding the form and use of the passive voice, students may now start the practice stage.
