“savings”, to mean the money you’ve saved for later, is always plural

Grammar: noun phrases (articles and other determiners)
Why are these articles used in sentences 1-4?
the world - There’s only one world (so the speaker and listener both know which one).
(no article) banks - Banks in general (not any specific banks).
the interactive voice system - We both know which system, because it was already mentioned.
a new cell phone banking plan - This is the first time it’s mentioned, so the listener/reader doesn’t know which one (yet).
---
“the” = Speaker and listener know which one(s) the sentence is about.
“a/an/some/-” = At least one of the speaker or listener doesn’t know which one(s).

a - the next word starts with a consonant sound: a computer, a unique person, a one-way street, a USB
an - the next word starts with a vowel sound: an apple, an mp3, an hour
---
Everyone needs to pay attention to this, especially you. = you in particular need to pay attention
This was specially prepared for you. = prepared in a special way.
---
Articles are one type of determiner.
Other determiners include:
- possessives: my, your, Greg’s, the students’
- demonstratives: this, that, these, those
- quantifiers: some, many, a few, all, each, every

Important: “each” and “every” are singular, “all” is plural (and noncount)
	each person is, every student is, each day happens, every store closes
	all people are, all students are, all stores close, all money is good

Grammar: passive voice

passive: Phone cards are sold here.

active: They’ve canceled my flight. (I don’t know or care who “they” are.)

---
A new bridge is being built next to my house.
	“is” is necessary for continuous
	“being” is necessary for passive

“by” + agent - necessary if this gives new or important information
---
We use passive voice when the focus is on the receiver of the action, NOT on the agent (“doer”).
---
p. 109 - Complete the sentences with the correct passive form of each verb. (They’re all passive, but you need to choose the right tense.)
