The passive voice is a tricky grammar subject for many English language learners. When we use the active voice, the subject does the action ("I ate an apple."). However, in the passive voice, the focus of the sentence switches, and the subject receives the action. We use the verb to be and the past participle form of the main verb to form the sentence ("The apple was eaten (by me).")

We use passive voice when the doer of the action is obvious, unimportant, or unknown. If we want to say who did the action, we can use the preposition 'by'.

We use reflexive pronouns when the subject both does and receives the action. We can also use them to emphasise that the subject did the action alone, or without help.

For example: 

She cooked dinner for herself.

Hello, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Paul.

The food is ready. Please, help yourselves.

As you may have heard, the James Webb Space Telescope recently published its first images. The raw images look slightly different from what we're used to from the Hubble Space Telescope because it captures infrared light instead of visible. This means we can 'look into the past' at stars so far away they may no longer exist.

In celebration, we decided to bring you some phrases and idioms related to space and space exploration.
