⚡ The 'Passive' Power-Up
At the A2 level, you usually say: "The police arrested the man." (Subject Action Object).
But look at the article. It uses a different structure: "A 37-year-old man... was arrested."
This is the Passive Voice. To move toward B2, you must stop focusing on who did it and start focusing on who it happened to.
🛠️ How to build it:
[Person/Thing] + [Be verb] + [Past Participle/V3]
- A2 style: Police caught the suspect. B2 style: The suspect was caught.
- A2 style: They sent the bodies to the hospital. B2 style: The bodies have been sent.
🧐 Why use this?
In professional reports or news, the person doing the action is often obvious (like the police) or unknown. By using the passive, you sound more objective and formal.
Comparison Table:
| A2 (Active) | B2 (Passive) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Police charged him. | He was charged. | Focuses on the criminal's status. |
| They are carrying out tests. | Tests are being carried out. | Focuses on the scientific process. |
🚀 Pro-Tip: The 'Allegedly' Modifier
Notice the phrase "allegedly killing." At B2, you cannot always state things as 100% facts. Using allegedly allows you to describe an event that hasn't been proven in court yet. It transforms a simple sentence into a nuanced legal statement.
