Millions and Billions

Hi everyone,

This morning we worked in teams to answer some geography questions. We also looked at saying big numbers....

Try and say these numbers...(the answers are at the bottom of the blog)

1. 49,000,658
2. 89,004
3. 479,045
4. 66,666,606
5. 9,443,892

We moved on to revise the passive voice. We talked about how to form the passive...

+ Subject + to be + verb 3 (+ by object) 

More than 8,000,000 pints of Guinness are drunk (by the people in Ireland)

- Subject + negative to be + verb 3 (+ by object)

Lots of people aren't satisfied (by the food in this restaurant)

Q To be + subject + verb 3 (+ by object)

(Are the government trusted (by the people in the country)?

We also talked about the four reasons why we use the passive...

You made some great examples for each reason and you started a worksheet, The homework is to finish the worksheet, we will correct it together tomorrow.

Have a great evening!
