    Default Hello, any ESL teachers here?

    Got a couple of questions to ask about regarding to English grammar.

    How do you teache 'passive voice'?

    Example:
    Active: My mom calls me "Honey!" (I have no idea why the hell this is an example...)
    Passive: The jungle is also called the 'rain forest'.
    The office is cleaned everyday.

    I understood the meaning of 'passive voice', but can anyone give suggestions of how to teach them in an ESL class?

    Many thanks.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
