Экономика - это общественная наука, изучающая поведение в сферах производства, потребления, распределения и обмена. Экономисты анализируют происходящие в этих сферах процессы и исследуют их последствия для физических лиц, организаций, например фирм, и общества в целом. В экономической науке существует много конкурирующих между собой направлений. Однако основным делением является деление на классическую и неоклассическую школы.
В систему экономических наук входят науки, которые изучают функциональные аспекты развития экономики (финансы и кредит, ценообразование, экономика труда, материально-техническое обеспечение, планирование экономического и социального развития и др.) или ее отраслевые особенности (экономики промышленности, сельского хозяйства, транспорта и др.).
DISCOVERING LANGUAGE
Passive Voice
The Passive Voice is formed by putting the auxiliary verb “to be” into the necessary form and adding the Past Participle of the main verb. Verbs which take an object (transitive verb) can have a passive form.
They destroyed the building – The building was destroyed.
The news surprised me. – I was surprised by the news.
Verbs which don`t take an object (intransitive verbs) don`t have passive forms. For example, there are no passive forms for the following sentences:
I slept for nearly ten hours last night.
The ship slowly disappeared from view.
A good dictionary will tell you whether verbs are transitive or intransitive.
1. Make these sentences passive. Use by if it is necessary to say who did the action.
