1. Read the story and answer the questions.

A Diamond Ring

A merry group of friends was sitting on a restaurant terrace. The table was laid for four: two men and two women. The waiter was sent for and soon dinner was served. Everyone was eating fish, and when the dinner was finished, a woman said, "Diamonds and pearls are often found inside fish." A lot of interesting stories were told until an old gentleman, who had been sitting quietly all the time, said, "I'll tell you a story about fish." Everyone agreed, so the old gentleman continued, "When I was a young man, I worked in a large company in New York. At that time I was in love with a pretty girl. Very soon we were engaged. About two months before our wedding I had been suddenly sent to England. I promised to write to my girlfriend because I had to stay in England longer than I had planned and I was very upset.

Finally, my work was done and I could go home. I was very happy because I had bought a very expensive diamond ring for my future wife.

On my way to New York I was looking through the morning newspaper, which had been brought to me by the waiter. In the newspaper it was written that my girl was going to marry another man.

This made me so angry that I threw the ring into the sea.

A few days later when I was in a restaurant in New York, some fish was brought to the table. While I was eating, I felt something hard in my mouth. What do you think it was?"

"The diamond ring!" cried the friends. "No," said the old gentleman, "it was a fishbone."

Действительный и страдательный залог

The Active voice and the Passive voice (действительный залог и страдательный залог)

Залог — это форма глагола, которая показывает: сам предмет или лицо производит действие (действительный залог) или действие производится над предметом или лицом (страдательный залог). Например:

Действительный залог (Active voice): Kate sent a letter last week. — Катя послала письмо на прошлой неделе.

Страдательный залог (Passive voice): The letter was sent by Kate last week. - Письмо было послано Катей на прошлой неделе.

В страдательном залоге часто не упоминается, кем или с помощью чего было совершено действие, но если такая информация нужна, то используются предлоги by (кем) или with (с помощью чего). Например:

The job was done by Ann. — Работа была сделана Аней.

The letter was written with a pen. — Письмо было написано ручкой.

Образование страдательного залога

Страдательный залог образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола to be, который изменяется по временам, и третьей формы глагола, которая остается неизменной.
