Grammar
Review Passive voice
In English grammar, voice shows whether the subject of a sentence is doing the action, or having the action done to it. Sentences are passive when the subject does not perform the action. Instead, the subject receives an action or is the result of an action. The person or thing that performed the action may be unimportant or unknown in a passive sentence. Passive sentences are used to make sentence sound more impersonal.
The passive voice is formed with according to the model:
be and the past participle of the main verb
For example:
The purpose of International organizations is described and defined in their charter or other document of creation.
18. Translate the sentences into Ukrainian and name the Passive Voice.
