Understanding Passive and Active Sentences

In this video, Ronnie introduces a grammar lesson focused on passive sentences. She explains the difference between active and passive sentences, providing examples like 'I eat lunch' and 'Lunch was eaten.' The video covers how to form passive sentences by changing the verb and noun positions and removing the subject. Ronnie discusses when to use passive voice, such as when the doer is unknown or irrelevant. A practical example involving a haircut illustrates the concept.
