turn to page 12 and do exercises 1, 2 and 3 first. check your answers against your classmates’.

2.the passive voice of phrasal verb
generally speaking, only transitive verbs can form the passive voice, for only transitive verbs can be followed by objects. but many intransitive verbs together with some prepositions and adverbs can be used as transitive verbs. so they can also be followed by the objects. therefore they can also be used in passive voice.
but note that all the phrasal verbs are used as a whole. when using them in passive voice, we cannot drop out the prepositions and adverbs. for examples:
at last they put out the fire. at last the fire was put out.
they will put up a notice on the wall. a notice will be put up on the wall.
have you sent for a doctor? has the doctor been sent for?
