Passive Sentences

Hei hei hei, thank you again for visiting my blog and also waiting to read my next post. My next post today will be about Passive Sentence. Usually, object lies behind the verb. But, in common, we do usually put object in front of verb to state that the object is really matter on the sentence. That's why we need to use Passive Sentence to say it. So get prepared, and here we go! :D
