34、ange the verb into a noun. That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the person who does the sport”.2.

35、f word-formation including clipping, acronymy, blending etc. III. Learning about Present Future Passive VoiceTurn to page 13 and do exercise 3.

38、 by objects. But many intransitive verbs together with some prepositions and adverbs can be used as transitive verbs. So they can also be followed by the objects. Therefore they can also be used in passive voice.But note that all the phrasal verbs are used as a whole. When using them in passive voic

39、e, we cannot drop out the prepositions and adverbs. For examples:At last they put out the fire. At last the fire was put out.They will put up a notice on the wall. A notice will be put up on the wall.Have you sent for a doctor? Has the doctor been sent for?I have never heard of such a thing before.
