	an - the next word starts with a vowel sound and the noun is singular
		an apple, an egg, an hour, an honest person, an mp3 player
	some or ∅ - the noun is plural or uncountable
		some apples, some books, some milk, some advice

Grammar: passive voice

active: Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.
	subject = agent = who/what did the action
passive: The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
	subject = receiver = who/what “received” the action

form: [be] + past participle
- It can be used in all tenses. Where you’d normally put the main verb for active, now you put the same form of “be”, and put the main verb after it in past participle form.

simple past: The package was sent yesterday.
past continuous: The package was being sent at 3pm.
past perfect: The package had been sent already.
simple present: Many packages are sent every day.
present continuous: The package is being sent right now.
present perfect: The package has been sent already.
simple future: The package will be sent tomorrow.
other modals: The package can be sent any time. / It should be sent soon.
perfect modals: The package might have been sent already.
