uncertain event that is contingent on another set of circumstances. The
conditional mood is thus similar to the

2.3 State
verbs
1. There are certain groups of verbs that are usually only used in the Present
Simple. This is because their meanings are related to states or conditions that
are facts and not activities. This is a feature of the use of the Present
Simple. The groups of verbs are:
I believe you.
Do you understand?
I know his face, but I forget his name.
Verbs of emotions and feelings
like, love, hate, care, hope, wish, want, admit
I like black coffee.
Do you want to go out?
I don't care.
Verbs of having and being
belong, own, have, possess, contain, cost, seem, appear, need, depend on,
weigh, come from, resemble
This book belongs to Jane.
How much does it cost?
He has a lot of money.
Verbs of the senses
look, hear, taste, smell, feel
The food smells good.
We often use can when the subject is a person.
Can you smell something burning?
I can hear someone crying.
2. Some of these verbs can be used in the Present Continuous, but with a
change of meaning. In the Continuous, the verb expresses an activity, not a
state.
I think you're right.
We're thinking of going to the cinema.
opinion
mental activity
He has a lot of money.
She's having a bad day.
possession
activity
I see what you mean.
Are you seeing Nigel tomorrow?
understand
activity
The soup tastes awful.
I'm tasting the soup to see if it needs salt.
state
activity
2.4 Introduction to the Passive
Form: to be + past participle
The tense of the verb to be changes to give different tenses in the passive.
A party is being held by the Smiths next week. (Present Continuous Passive)
Me neighbour is invited to their party every year. (Present Simple Passive)
He was invited last year, I wasn't. (Present Perfect Passive)
I'd love to be invited to their party. (Passive infinitive)
Use:
1. Passive sentences move the focus from the subject to the object of active
sentences.
Alfred Hitchcock directed Psycho in 1960.
Psycho, one of the classic thrillers of all times, was directed by Alfred
Hitchcock.
The passive is not just another way of expressing the same sentence in the
active. We choose the active or the passive depending on what we are more
interested in. In the first sentence, we are more interested in Alfred
Hitchcock. In the second sentence, Psycho has moved to the beginning of the
sentence because we are more interested in the film.
2. By and the agent are often omitted in passive sentence if the agent
is not known : My apartment was robbed last night.
is not important : The bridge was built in 1999.
is obvious : I was fined hundred dollars for speeding.
3. The passive is associated with an impersonal, formal style. It's often
used in notices and announcements.
Customers are requested to refrain from smoking.
It has been noticed that reference books have been removed from the library.
4. In informal language, we often use you, we, they to refer to people in
general or to no person in particular. In this way, we can avoid using the
passive.
You can buy stamps in lots of shops, not just the post offices.
They're building a new department store in the city centre.
We speak English in this shop.
Be careful! Many past participles are used as adjectives.
I'm very interested in modern arts.
We were extremely worried about you.
I'm exhausted! I've been working hard all day.
2.5 Present Simple and Present Continuous Passive
Form:
Present Simple Passive : am/is/are + past participle
Present Continuous Passive : am/is/are + being + past participle
It is mended.
It is being mended.
They are mended.
They are being mended.
The uses are the same in the passive as in the active.
My car is serviced every six month. (habit)
Computers are used in all areas of life and work. (fact that is always true)
Sorry about the mess. The house is being renovated at the moment. (activity
happening now)
