The passive voice

We can use THE PASSIVE VOICE to talk about PEOPLE and INVENTIONS

PEOPLE suffered the consequences of the Industrial Revolution, but they were very important. That's why we can use THE PASSIVE VOICE.

For example: "Children were forced to work"


INVENTIONS and DISCOVERIES were also important aspects. They didn't do anything. People invented or discovered them. Sometimes we don't know who invented or discovered them or is not the most important aspect. That's why we can use THE PASSIVE VOICE.

For example: "The steam engine was created to move machines"
