00:00 - 00:03
today, we're going to talk about the passive off al
00:03 - 00:07
verbs, you know, remember that when we used to passive
00:07 - 00:10
voice the object is more important than the subject in
00:10 - 00:13
the sentence, so we need to give it the importance
00:14 - 00:14
that it deserves.
00:15 - 00:17
We use it at the beginning, off the sentence.
00:17 - 00:18
The object on.
00:18 - 00:23
Usually the subject is not mentioned unless it's important to
00:23 - 00:25

00:27 - 00:31
For model verbs who use ah subject plus model verb

in past partisan.
01:06 - 01:09
Another example is lost ought to be changed.
01:10 - 01:14
Remember, that ought to have to our model verbs that
01:14 - 01:16
go completely like ought to be changed.
01:17 - 01:20
Oh, our laws have to be changed.
01:24 - 01:26
Another thing that it's important to remember is that the
01:26 - 01:32
negative goes after the model where, for example, you shouldn't
01:32 - 01:36
be allowed to vote at 16, so we don't use,
01:37 - 01:40
not after deserved to be we use, not after the
