22 October was designated International Stuttering Awareness Day (ISAD) in 1998. The day is intended to raise the public awareness of the millions of people who have the speech disorder of stuttering, including over 3 million Americans.Slide3
ON THIS DAY
ISAD is organized by four organizations:
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, Special Interest Division #4, Fluency & Fluency Disorders
European League of Stuttering Associations
International Fluency Association
International Stuttering Association
ISAD includes an online conference, targeted at people with an interest in stuttering, as well as speech-language pathologists and their clients.
In 2007, Central Michigan University expanded the day into Stuttering Awareness Week, which extended for a week after October 22.
Although many locales do not have support groups, there are resources for stutterers online and cooperative education groups that work with schoolsSlide4
PASSIVE VOICE.INTRODUCTIONSlide5
PASSIVE INTRODUCTION.
The passive voice is a grammatical construction in which the
subject of a sentence
or clause denotes the recipient of the action rather than the performer. In the English language, the English passive voice is formed with an auxiliary verb (usually be or get) plus a participle (usually the past participle) of a transitive verb.Slide6

WHY DO WE USE PASSIVE SENTENCES?
We use the passive voice when the receiver of the action is more important in our communication than the one who did it (the actor of the verb).
The president was assassinated this morning
.
We can use the passive when we don't know who did the action.
The bank was robbed yesterday.Slide8
WHY DO WE USE PASSIVE SENTENCES?
We use the passive when we don't need to say who did the action.

We can use the passive to avoid saying who did the action.
