Read through the phrases in the boxes, and make up true sentences by themselves. Then check the answers with the whole class. Let the students do some translation exercises. V. Presentation Revise the instruction for planting trees, using “should” and “must”. (not + be + past participle). Then tell the students that we can use the Passive Voice in the same way. Give them some examples. 1. The homework must be done. 2. The fish must be cooked. 3. The books should be returned tomorrow. 4. The tree must be tied to the stick. 5. The hole should be dug first.
