This book, however, was conceived in a grammar class, a class wherein I was teaching one of the many uses of passive voice with a comic I’d been given at the start of my career by a veteran instructor. The image was accessible to individuals from any cultural background, universally humorous, and unintentionally perfect for grammar instruction. It helped to spice up a course that had the potential to be dry, and it aided the visual learners in remembering one of the more obscure functions of a challenging grammatical form.ver menos
