I created this video quiz by means of the Autoquiz function of the quiz creator ("Create a quiz in 1 click"), which generates a quiz in a grammar topic using the human-created subtitles of the video. In this case, I chose the topic of 'Passive in all tenses' and manually added some active voice questions alongside the machine-generated passive ones using the subtitle box in the editor. I've also inserted the infinitives in brackets by hand.

The objective of the lesson is to train students in the use of passive in the past simple tense, with one question containing a passive infinitive ("to be used"). Students have to decide if the infinitive in brackets should be in the active or passive form.

I've delayed popping up each of the fifteen questions with a few seconds to let students' auditory memory fade and make them rely on their knowledge of grammar, rather than their ears.
