Plan

  • Passive infinitives:
    • 1. Passive Infinitive in Obligation or Necessity:
    • 2. After Modal Verbs:
    • 3. After Verbs of Expectation, Intention, or Permission:
      • Verbs like expect, intend, want, and allow are commonly followed by the passive infinitive when the emphasis is on the outcome rather than the subject.
    • 4. Formal or Impersonal Language:
      • sounds more formal or neutral
    • Role-Play: “The Case of the Stolen Painting”
      Scenario:
      A famous painting has been stolen from a museum. The detectives need to interview two witnesses to gather information and solve the mystery. Each student has a specific role.
      Roles:

      1. Detective (Student 1)
      2. Witness 1 (Student 2)
      3. Witness 2 (Student 3)
        How It Works:
      4. Detective (Student 1):
        • Ask questions to gather information from the two witnesses.
        • Your goal is to piece together what happened by asking questions and using passive voice when summarizing the events.
        Example questions to ask the witnesses:
        • “What happened to the painting?”
        • “Was anything damaged?”
        • “What was done before the theft?”
        • “Was anyone seen near the painting?”
      5. Witnesses (Students 2 and 3):
        • You each have specific clues about the crime, but you must use passive voice when responding.
        • Use the clue cards below to answer the detective’s questions.
        • Stick to the information on your cards and be ready to answer follow-up questions.
        Clue Cards for Witnesses:
        Witness 1 (Student 2) – Security Guard:
        • The alarm was disabled before the theft.
        • The cameras were turned off by someone last night.
        Witness 2 (Student 3) – Museum Cleaner:
        • The window had been broken earlier that day, but it wasn’t fixed.
        • The painting was last seen at 8 PM during the final tour.
        Optional Extension:
        After the role-play, the detective can present the summary of the case to the class, or all three students can discuss possible suspects based on the clues.
