Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about “What’s Been Said?” but no doubt your teachers will talk about the “Passive Variants quiz”! If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
Do you sometimes have difficulty understanding what's been said? It can be slightly harder when the information is a passive variant. But you will be more familiar with such ways of speaking once you have tackled this quiz on passive variants!
Beware of the difference between 'disappoint-ING' (which is an inherent quality of bad news, i.e. its potential effect on the hearer/s), and 'disappoint-ED' (which is the participal adjective describing the state of people after they have suffered disappointment).
