IV.            The main part

Grammar point

T. Now, boys and girls, look at your books at page 112 ex.1 and compare the meanings of  Simple Passive tense forms (Simple Present and Simple Past)

Simple Present Passive	Simple Past Passive
Great Britain is washed by the seas on all sides.	Great Britain was known as England for many centuries.

Who can tell me how do we form the Passive Voice?

P1.Simple Present Passive is formed with the help of ‘am’, ‘is’, ‘are’ +the third form of the verb.

P2. Simple Past Passive is formed with the help of ‘was’, ‘were’ + the third

 form of the verb.

T. That’s right, thanks. And when Passive Voice is used?

P. It is used when the doer of the action is not known or not important.

T. Right you are. The grammar point of our today’s lesson is Present Perfect Passive.The Present Perfect Passive is useful when describing something that was done in the past without a lot of information about who did it, when, how, why, etc. And now look and listen to the teacher who explains how to form Present Perfect Passive (the clip from YouTube is demonstrated to the students).
