Closing down by summarizing

1.Present future passive voice (take “ask” for example) Affirmative I

You

Negative I

You

Interrogative Will (shall) I Will you He/she/it will

be He/she/it will not

be Will he/she/it

be asked asked We will (shall) You/They will asked We will (shall) not You / They will not Will (shall) we Will you / they 2.The passive Voice of phrasal verb Generally speaking, only transitive verbs can form the passive voice, for only transitive verbs can be followed by objects. But many intransitive verbs together with some prepositions and adverbs can be used as transitive verbs. So they can also be followed by the objects. Therefore they can also be used in passive voice. But note that all the phrasal verbs are used as a whole. When using them in passive voice, we cannot drop out the prepositions and adverbs. For examples: At last they put out the fire.

At last the fire was put out. They will put up a notice on the wall.

A notice will be put up on the wall. Have you sent for a doctor?

Has the doctor been sent for? I have never heard of such a thing before.

Such a thing has never been heard of before. We must take good care of the children here.

The children must be taken good care of here. His classmates laughed at him for the foolish mistake.
