5. Look back at the text in Activity 2 and focus on the phrases in blue. Do you recognize the construction of passive sentences? Are they used to make generalizations about people’s ideas or to give further information?
Phrases in blue: was created by, was born, was adopted by, cannot be classified, can be found
