Topic 27 - Opotopics Secondary

What this episode covers

In this episode we dive into a fundamental grammatical aspect of the English language: the passive voice. In order to understand what the passive voice is used for, we must give importance to the action rather than to the people involved in the action. But why does this shift in focus matter? And how does it shape the way we communicate?
