Passive questions
 
Hi dear colleagues,
I need your help. I �ve been looking for an online exercise on forming passive questions (only in the past simple and present simple), but I haven �t been able to find anything suitable.

I need something for lower intermediate students, who have seen the passive only in these two tenses.

The exercise has to be online/interactive (not word or pdf), because I have to post it on the moodle platform I use with my classes.

Thank you for your help!!

Hello
So long I haven �t heard from you -  my friend from moodle platform, heheh.
Hope you are doing well.

What about a multiple choice with Hotpotatoes, or matching, gapfilling? I am not a fan of hotpotatoes, myself, but sometimes it is rather useful.

Good luck

Linda

Edit
I forgot, if you go for a multiple choice there is something easier and prettier; have a look here

You just write the questions, check the roght answers and then copy the embed code and paste it in the moodle post.
I�ve been using it, both in the blog and the moodle.

Thank you to both of you for the tips!

Yes Linda, I had had thought of creating an exercise myself, but I �m so busy with the platform (forums, posts, exercises, technical problems ....:-(( )  that I hardly have the time to create my own exercises! I know eslvideo, it �s just a question of having very little time, unfortunately.
Keep up the good work!

Dear friends,

I �m teaching passive voice to my students. I got confused a little bit as for the following two sentences. Which one is grammatically correct?
- My leg broke two weeks ago.
- My leg was broken two weeks ago.
For me the first one seems to be better and I  have doubts about the correctness of the second one.
I need your kind help!!!
Thanks

My legs broke two weeks ago doesn�t sound right.
 
I broke my leg two weeks ago,
 
The passive of the above sentence is; My leg was broken two weeks ago.
 
All th,e best
