Will done Gill. Engvid is a great team work and you are an important part of it ;)) Could I ask an explanation, please. What’s the difference between the expression ‘I was invited’ and ‘I have been invited’ and similars. Thanks for your precious efforts.

AlexGzz

Hi – thanks for your kind words :-) ‘I was invited’ is simple past, as in ‘my friend invited me’, which happened in the past, and the event is probably over now (whether I went to it or not). ‘I have been invited’, as in ‘my friend has invited me’, has a more immediate, present relevance, and it sound as if the event hasn’t yet happened, so I have the choice whether to go to the event or not. I hope that helps to clarify :-)

Gill

hi miss can you say some rules how to change active into passive

Thanks Gill for your tutorial. Please what’s the difference between dead and death, I get confuse on how to use them in a sentence.

Victoriak

Hi – ‘dead’ is used mostly an adjective, whereas ‘death’ is an abstract noun. However, it’s also possible to use ‘dead’ as a noun, as in ‘bring out your dead’.

Gill

Thank you Gill. Your lesson is very clear and I love your easy and clear pronunciation.
I have a question about active and passive forms:
when we use I have not been invited vs I was not invited?
thank you in advance

6/10

broken down. in this variant broken is not verb? It is adjective? in any case i do not know different between they.

They were advise to use a website to improve their English. – What wrong? 2 passives cannot be used in one sentence?

Shvitf

a very good lesson indeed. I have improved on my active and passive verbs usage today.

I wasn’t bothered to learn this until recently when my work required me too.

Thanks for the lesson Jill!!!

Marcella

Hi Gill, your work helps us to be active and we able to don’t be passive. If each receiver to be an agent the world will change. Thanks.
