12 The passive and the causative 12.2 Uses of the passive 12.2A Uses of the passive [> LEG I 2.1,I 2.4.131 - Study: 1 The passive is not just a different form of the active. It has its own uses and is very common in I**I English. It would be hard to think of the active forms of sentences like: Rome wasn't built in a day. The origin of the universe will never be explained. 2 We use the passive mainly in three ways: - when we don't want to take responsibility for something: The matter will be dealt with soon. (We don't know or want to say who'll deal with it.) - when we want to focus on a happening, not who or what did it: Our roof was damaged in last night's storm. (We're concerned about the roof.) - when we want to avoid 'vague subjects' like one, someone, they, etc.: The form has to be signed. (Not *Someone/One has to sign the form. ') English spoken. (Not 'One speaks English') Shoes repaired. (Not 'One repairs shoes') Write: Supply suitable active and passive forms in these sentences using the verbs in brackets.

If you (involve) ...................... in a car accident and someone (hurt) ....................... you (have to) 5 ...................... report the matter to the police. If only the vehicles (damage) ....................... drivers should exchange names and addresses. 12.2B The use of 'by' + agent (= 'doer') after a passive [> LEG 12.51 Study: 1 We use by only when we need to say who or what is responsible for an event: I**I The window was broken last night. (We don't know or want to say who or what did it.) The window was broken by a slate that fell off the roof. (We wish to give information.) 2 We often use by + agent with the passive of verbs like build, compose, damage, design, destro discover, invent, make and write to identify who or what islwas responsible: Supply passive forms with by + agent where necessary. Write: ..... to raise enough money When Jasper Morgan died his collection of pictures (sell) .....w ..& to pay his taxes.

It is said (that) there is plenty of oil off our own coast. 2 There (+ passive + to be) with e.g. allege, believe, fear, know, report, say, suppose, think: There is said to b e plenty of oil off our own coast.

Jack is servicing the car. I**I 2 We use the passive to say that a job IS being done for us, but we don't know or don't want to say who is doing it: The car is being serviced. (We're focusing on the car [> 12.2AI) 3 We use the causative to stress the fact that we are 'causing' someone to do a job for us: I'm having the car serviced. I have had my car serviced. I'm going to have my hair cut. Not 'I'm going to cut my hair'which means 'I'm going to cut it myself'.
