Grade 8 English
Grade 8 is where the passive voice is introduced. The syllabus sets it in the simple present, simple past and simple future across Terms 2 and 3, alongside the past perfect. Get these right here and Grades 9 and 10 become much easier.
Grade 8 grammar practice
The past perfect tense, the passive voice in the simple tenses, and reflexive pronouns. These follow competency levels 6.1 and 6.2.

Choose Practice to replay freely, or Formal test for examination conditions. The transcript appears only after you submit. These follow competency levels 3.2 to 3.4, and the paper-making test also practises the passive voice from competency level 6.1.
