🏛️ Summit: Past Passive Stories
Aylin turns her grandmother’s town into a documentary, and every scene needs the past passive: the bridge was built, destroyed and rebuilt. Learners master was/were + past participle with negatives, questions and the by-agent, then read a 160-word story with one idea hiding between the lines. They finish by telling and writing the history of a place they know.
