i'm going to read some sentences which include passive forms. Now i'm focusing on the way these passives are pronounced. There are two main issues for you to think about. auxiliary verbs are pronounced with weak forms, so they're difficult to hear. Past participles, especially ones that have an e d ending, are difficult words to pronounce correctly. So try to say the sent nce as one long sound with all the words linked together. We don't always link every word but it is good pronunciation practice.
