Title: Passive Voice
Post by: kat05 on May 19, 2020, 04:53:36 pm

Hi there,
I wasn't too sure how to the discuss the use of passive voice in lines 14-15. How do I discuss how it organises the information and what effect it has. I know it emphasises the aspects/qualities of the share house but I am unsure how to make it specific :(

Thank you!

Hey kat05 :)

Just an idea, you could talk about front focus, where the information about the share house response is moved to the front of the sentence (and before the subject) in order to place emphasis on the qualities of the subject.

Have you come up with anything since your post? :)
