In the previous courses we had a short introduction to the structure and form of passive voice.
Let's remember that in the passive voice we focus on the receiver of the action and not in the doer of the action. The image shows how passive voice is formed.
Go to the following link to review more about the structure of passive voice:

Exercise 7.
ResponderBorrarThe Earth is hit by lightning 8.6 million times a day. Scientists say there's a 1 in 3 million chance you will be hit by lightning, but that depends on how much time you spend outdoors. Roy Sullivan, a park ranger from Virginia, USA, was hit by lightning seven times in his lifetime. On different occasions he lost his toenails, hair and eyebrows. The final lightning strike happened while he was fishing and he was taken to the hospital with chest and stomach burns.
Exercise 8.b.
These days part of Venice are flooded one day in three. People believe this water will rise another 20 cm in the next 50 years. This means that Venice is getting flooded much more often. A lot of money has been already collected for the Save Venice Fund and now many old buildings are being repaired. However, more money must be found quickly and some people don't think the city can be saved. Most experts agree that if important work is not done soon, some of the world's most beautiful buildings will be lost forever.
