Grammar: Determiners in noun phrases
(determiner = article, possessive, quantifier, or demonstrative)
---
Articles:
a/an	singular (countable) noun, nonspecific (at least one of the listener or the speaker doesn’t know which one you’re talking about)
	a: before a consonant sound - a university, a one-way street, a computer
	an: before a vowel sound - an hour, an honest man, an apple, an mp3 player
the	singular or plural or noncount nouns, specific (both listener and speaker know which one(s))
	- because there’s only one of them: the president, the Sun, the Internet
	- because it was mentioned before: “the interactive voice system”
-	(zero article) plural or noncount, nonspecific or generic (when we’re talking about the general category, not one particular example)
---
each/every - grammatically singular (each person, every person, each student, every student)
all - plural or noncount (all people, all students, all money)
---

Grammar: passive voice
passive = [be] + past participle
- Passive can be (almost) any tense:
Tom closes the door. -> The door is closed by Tom. (simple present - 1)
Tom is closing the door. -> The door is being closed by Tom. (present continuous - 1)
Tom closed the door. -> The door was closed by Tom. (simple past - 3,5)
Tom has closed the door. -> The door has been closed by Tom. (present perfect - 2,5)
Tom had closed the door. -> The door had been closed by Tom. (past perfect - 3)
Tom was closing the door. -> The door was being closed by Tom. (past continuous - 3)
Tom will close the door. -> The door will be closed by Tom. (simple future - 4)
(Tom has been closing the door. -> perfect continuous is very uncommon in passive)
- We can also use passive voice in modal expressions:
People might have used this as a map. -> This might have been used as a map. (Unit 8)
Tom can close the door. -> The door can be closed by Tom. (Unit 6)
---
p. 109 part 8 - First, complete the sentences with the correct passive forms of the verbs.
Then go back and choose the information you think is correct. (For example, is number 1 true about the Nokia 1101, or about the iPod?)

3 has been translated - Agatha Christie
4 was nominated - The Color Purple
5 is worn / is being worn - Ralph Lauren
6 has been viewed - Justin Bieber
7 were downloaded - Call of Duty
8 was bought - Picasso
