Learn English: Courier Deliveries and Passive Voice

Today, more people are purchasing things online than ever before. We all like the convenience of having our items delivered to our homes, so we often use delivery services for various goods, from groceries to electronic gadgets. Consequently, we have designed this course to teach you the basic vocabulary to understand and discuss mailing and deliveries. We begin by exploring the vocabulary words relating to the postal service and the options available when you use a delivery service. You will also learn how to send packages to your friends and family.

After learning these new words, you will study two grammar sections. The first lesson will focus on the passive voice. Distinguish the difference between active and passive voices and understand how and why you use the passive voice. Discover how to form the passive voice's negative and interrogative forms and the simple present and simple past tenses for the passive voice. Understand why 'by-phrases' are important in passive voice sentences and when you can omit them. The second section will focus on conjunctions. Comprehend the use of coordinating conjunctions and their purpose. Discover the use of subordinating conjunctions in unifying dependent and independent clauses to express reason, condition, and contrast.

We have designed the final section to help you integrate and practice your new grammar and vocabulary skills. You will practice reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills using what you have discovered about mailing, deliveries, the passive voice, and coordinating and subordinating conjunctions. Let this course help you discuss topics relating to shipping and deliveries. Continue to master your written and spoken English by adding the passive voice to your skill set.
