PLAYLIST UPDATE FOR DECEMBER 28, 2024 - JANUARY 3, 2025 OF JOSE CARILLO ENGLISH FORUM’S FACEBOOK GATEWAY

Simply click the web links to the 15 featured English grammar refreshers and general interest stories this week along with selected postings published in the Forum in previous years:

1. Getting to Know English: “In defense of the passive voice”

A totally active-voice exposition is neither a practical nor desirable goal. An exposition that uses an unbroken train of
active sentences, without at least a few passive ones, is in many ways the equivalent of speaking stridently at all times
or of singing a song on a high note from start to finish. We all know how exhausting this can be for both the performer
and the audience.
