4 7 Grammar Point THE PASSIVE VOICE PROCESS Passive voice: be + verb (past participle) Look at these two sentences: Active: International trade connects money to all other money. Passive: Money is connected to all other money (through international trade). In the active sentence, the subject International trade performs the action of the verb connects. In the passive sentence the subject receives the action of the verb. The agent may or not be identified. In fact, this form is frequently used when we do not want to identify the performer of an action. Active Dogs chase cats. Doctors recommend this medicine. No one told me the meeting was today. Passive Cats are chased by dogs. This medicine is recommended by doctors. I was not told the meeting was today. Exercise. Find more passive voice sentences in the reading. Write them below.

5 8 Reading Exercise. Read the passage below. The first time, read it in chunks and time yourself. Read again and time yourself again. The forex is the place where currencies of all countries are bought and sold. Its total value is much greater than the stock market, however we see very little of it on TV news. It could take the stock market more than two months to reach the amount traded on the forex in a single day! In order to control the price of the local currency, it must be bought with, and sold for, another currency. That is why central banks cannot hold on to only one currency, but must have at least two one a local currency and the other a reserve currency. In fact, central banks will hold on to as many currencies as countries with which its nation trades: US dollars, Japanese yen, euros, renminbi, Thai baht, etc. One danger central banks must always be aware of is the possibility of a forex attack! Yes, attack! The attack begins when speculators from around the world combine forces to change the price of a currency up or down in their favor. In this way, it is possible to make or lose billions in a single day; although, the attack may last many months. 1st time: 2 nd time: Understanding Business News Created by Joseph T. Rodolico 35
